Excellent coordination on the part of the operator who provided the service, an excellent guide who was able to clarify our doubts. The tour is divine, lots of history and culture together.

Description

Enjoying the beauty of Lake Titicaca is a must if you are in Puno. With this excursion, you'll visit the Uros Islands and go hiking in Taquile!

Uros Islands Excursion + Taquile Island Hike

At 7 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Puno and head to the port, where we'll board a speedboat for a cruise on Lake Titicaca.

After just 20 minutes, we'll reach the first of the floating Uros Islands. There, we'll get off the boat and go on a guided tour to learn about the culture, traditions and customs of this Indigenous Peruvian community. Did you know that the Uro was one of the first civilizations of the Andean highlands?

After touring this impressive artificial archipelago, we'll return to the boat and sail to Taquile Island, the largest in the area. Once there, we'll embark on a one-hour hiking route along a stone path to the most spectacular viewpoints of the island. The views of Lake Titicaca will leave you speechless!

After this hike, we'll leave you an hour of free time to have lunch in a local restaurant. Then, at 1:30 pm we'll start our descent to the boat that will take us back to Puno.

We'll finish the excursion back at your hotel at 4 pm.

Una actividad muy recomendable sobre todo si te toca un guía como Esteban, nos explicó muchas cosas sobre las costumbres de los Uros y la gente de Taquile. En el trekking nos comentó el uso que le daban a las plantas que nos íbamos encontrando por el camino. Un saludo. Translate this opinion into English.

La actividad fue entretenida, nuestro guía, Víctor, fue amable y nos dio mucha información sobre la historia y costumbres de los Uros y Taquile. Recomiendo coger el tour con comida incluida, ya que el trekking se puede hacer igualmente gratis una vez llegas a la isla. Los que pagamos excursión con trekking incluido tuvimos que pagar la comida por separado. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was entertaining, our guide, Victor, was kind and gave us a lot of information about the history and customs of the Uros and Taquile. I recommend taking the tour with food included, since the trekking can also be done for free once you arrive on the island. Those of us who paid for the excursion with trekking included had to pay for food separately. Opinion translated. Show original.
