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 will pick you up at your hotel in Juliaca and travel by minibus to Puno. After an hour's drive, we will board a boat to the Uros Islands, recognized as cultural heritage of Peru. The floating archipelago is artificial.
We will spend an hour and a half visiting the Uros Islands, meeting the local population and discovering their traditions and beliefs.
Next, we will proceed to the island of Taquile. We will explore for an hour and a half, enjoying the peaceful landscape and learning about the textile art, recognized as 'Intangible Heritage of Humanity' by Unesco. A lunch consisting of a starter, a main course, and a soft drink will be provided before our return by boat.
The excursion will conclude at 3:30 pm, dropping you off at your hotel in Juliaca.

The 2-day tour allows more exploration. The first day includes a visit to the Uros Islands, lunch, local fishing, free afternoon time, and an overnight stay in a traditional hut with dinner included.
The second day starts with breakfast at 7:30 am before heading to the island of Taquile. We'll visit its market and learn about local customs, returning to Juliaca for arrival by 3:50 pm.
