Uros & Taquile Islands Tour

One of the most ancestral tribes of America and incredible landscapes star in this excursion to the islands of the Uros and Taquile. We'll travel from Juliaca, enjoy a boat ride and learn about the history of the people who live in Lake Titicaca.

Uros & Taquile Islands Tour

At 6 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Juliaca and head by minibus to Puno.

After an hour's drive, we'll approach the shores of Lake Titicaca and board a boat that will take us to the islands of the Uros, protected as cultural heritage of Peru.

We'll spend an hour and a half visiting these islands built with aquatic plants by the Uros. We'll meet the local population, descendants of one of the oldest ethnic groups in Latin America, and discover their traditions and beliefs.

Afterwards, we'll set course for the island of Taquile. We'll walk for an hour and a half along its trails, observing the hills with terraced crops. We'll learn about the textile art of this place, declared 'Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by Unesco.

We'll have lunch in Taquile consisting of a starter, a main course, and a soft drink. After lunch, we'll return to the boat.

We'll finish the excursion at 3:30 pm, returning you to your hotel in Juliaca.
