Our tour begins with pick up from your hotel in Puno around 7am. Then we will go to the port in Puno, where our local guide will be waiting with the boat to begin our adventure on Lake Titicaca. Once we leave, our guide will explain important points of this great lake, and after 30 minutes we arrive at the floating islands of the Uros. Here we stop at an island, visit its inhabitants and learn about the customs of these communities living for years in the highlands. In the community of the Uros we take a raft made of reeds and a little stroll on the lake (optional).

Later we return to the boat and continue our journey towards the island of Amantani. The trip takes about 3 hours boat. Upon arrival you will be greeted by groups of islanders who provide us accommodation at their humble homes.

The afternoon is free to explore on your own or simply to share the evening with your host family. Shortly before sunset, our guide will invite you to make a short walk to a small hill known as Pachatata, where an archaeological complex built by the ancient cultures that inhabited the island long ago is located. From this point, we can also see a beautiful sunset. Then we descend to our homes and have dinner with our respective families.

Later we will see a folklore festival, where we can dance with the local people. Our families give us traditional clothing to attend the party. The women they are dressed in very colorful skirts, beautiful blouses, hand embroidery and a black veil. The men were given a very long Chuyo poncho (wool cap typical of the Andes). Once ready, we will go to the party.

Overnight with a local family.

After breakfast, we say goodbye to our family and go down to the dock to continue our visit to the island of Taquile. The trip will take about an hour.

Taquile is a huge island which is characterized by beautiful fabrics. Here visitors can see how people on the island make ponchos, belts, gloves and other typical high Andean clothing, all handmade. To reach the top of the island, we walk along a beautiful trail, somewhat inclined offering spectacular views of the lake. Here we recommend walking slowly and take it easy, as the altitude is about 3800 masl.

After we will have lunch in a typical restaurant around the square. After lunch, you will have free time to visit the factories of fabrics and take pictures with the islanders.

Later, we will descent to the harbor to take our boat back to Puno, arriving in the city at about 17:00h.

End of our services!
