PUNO : FD UROS AND TAQUILE ISLANDS

We leave Puno and travel to the floating islands of the Uros people in Lake Titicaca. Discover how the locals create these islands using bunches of dried totora reeds. Learn about the history of the area and interact with the locals to hear more about their life on the water. Then, sail to Taquile Island in the largest part of Lake Titicaca. Experience life on the lake up close and get breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains as an added bonus. Hear about the inhabitants of Taquile Island and how they descended from the Inca people to work mainly as farmers and weavers, and how they have inherited some distinct Inca traditions. Take a medium-level hike on the island, known for its hand-woven art and collective farms, and enjoy lunch with local produce served at a local restaurant. Then, return to the city of Puno on the shores of the lake to finalize your tour services.
