Tour a las Islas Flotantes de los Uros y Taquile en el Lago Titicaca – 2 Días y 1 Noche
DESCRIPTION:
The 2-day, 1-night Uros Floating Islands and Taquile Tour allows you to explore the landscapes and traditions of Lake Titicaca in greater depth. During this experience, you will have more time to learn about the life of the Uros and Taquile communities, navigate their waters, appreciate their stunning natural scenery, and connect with one of the most representative cultural expressions of the Peruvian Andes.
Entry to the Uros Lodge is available from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, but check-in to the rooms is from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, making the start of this experience flexible for most travelers. The complete experience is available to those who enter in the morning or from midday, as they have time to participate in complementary activities such as kayaking, exploration by traditional Totora reed boat, traditional net fishing, textile workshop, traditional clothing, and sunset bonfire.
On Day 2, after breakfast, there are 2 departure times to board the boat for the Taquile tour. The first departure is at 8:00 AM for those who wish to hear the guide’s explanations about the Uros Floating Islands, but if you only wish to experience the Taquile Island tour, you should request to board the tour boat from 9:00 AM. This experience will end between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM in the city of Puno or at the Uros Floating Islands for those with an additional night in the Uros.
