Your adventure begins early in the morning as we pick you up from your hotel in Puno at 6:40 AM.

Upon arrival at the Uros Islands, you’ll step onto the remarkable floating islands, which are entirely constructed from totora reeds. These islands are home to a community that has maintained its traditional way of life for centuries. Over the next 45 minutes, you’ll explore the main island and visit 2-3 other smaller islands. Your guide will provide a deeper understanding of the Uros’ customs, from their unique reed boat construction to their sustainable living practices.

Once in the village, you’ll have three hours to immerse yourself in the local culture. Taquile is renowned for its intricate handwoven textiles, and you’ll have the chance to see these masterpieces up close while learning about the islanders’ traditional weaving techniques.
