View full itinerary · THE FLOATING ISLANDS OF UROS
First, our departure to the Uros and Taquile Islands begins at 7:30 am with the pick-up from your hotel. Soon, we will head on a private transport to the pier or main port. Then, at 7:45 am, we begin the journey to the floating islands of the Uros. Currently, Uros is considered on the Lake Titicaca National Reserve. It's known as the world’s highest navigable lake. Along the trip, we can observe a beautiful panoramic view, and enjoy the landscape. Therefore, our expert guide will inform you about the existence of the floating islands of the Uros.
Also, the people of Los Uros still keep their culture and tradition alive. For example, artisanal fishing, especially (CARACHI) and silverside. As a result, when fishing is abundant, fish are kept dry in the sun. In addition, they are dedicated to hunting wild birds and collecting duck eggs. On the other hand, there are 75 islands living today, and each island is well organized. Afterward, we will say goodbye to the Uros. Our next visit will be the natural island of TAQUILE.
THE NATURAL ISLAND OF TAQUILE
To get to our next visit on our tour of the Uros and Taquile Islands. We will sail in the boat for 2 and a half hours, towards the nature and beauty of the Island of Taquile. We can observe the Mountain Chain (the Cordillera Real) during the navigation. The people of Taquile are very cooperative and well-organized. This is why Taquilians have demonstrated their high degree of advancement in textiles. Receiving their prize from UNESCO.
It should be noted that yarn and fabric are mainly made by men, starting at eight years old. Women only make yarns and fabrics. Life in Taquile continues to maintain its lifestyle despite modernity. The visit will be an average of 2 hours, and we will have 1 hour to try a delicious typical lunch. If you want to support and be part of this community, you can volunteer by buying some of their crafts.
In doing so, we provide this community with some means of sustainability and thus help them to continue sharing their culture and existence in future times. Finally, we will continue our way back to the Puno city, arriving at 17:00 hours.
