Tour itinerary

6:40 AM: Hotel pick-up and transfer to the Puno port, where we board a motorboat and set off towards the floating islands of the Uros. Uros Islands Visit (45 minutes): Explore these ancient floating islands, home to the Uros community, with an English and Spanish-speaking guide who will share the unique lifestyle of the inhabitants. The Uros are an indigenous community made up of more than 40 islands, all built by the inhabitants using totora reeds. These reeds are used for constructing their homes, boats (rafts), as fuel, and even as food. On this tour, you’ll visit the main island and explore 2 or 3 additional islands (around 30 minutes each). There’s also an option to take a ride on the traditional totora reed boats.
