Lake Titicaca Day Tour from Puno to Uros and Taquile
From €46 per person
See availability →A Lake Titicaca day tour from Puno by motor boat: the floating Uros islands, then Taquile Island with its walk up to the village and a textile cooperative, with a basic lunch.
This Lake Titicaca day tour from Puno starts early with a transfer from your central hotel to the port. A motor boat, 35 feet long, with a roofed area against rain or chill, takes you to the floating Uros islands. The surface gives underfoot like a water bed, yet it is perfectly safe.
You see the houses, meet the friendly inhabitants, who trace their roots to one of South America's oldest peoples, and visit two of the roughly 60 islands. A trip on a traditional reed boat can be organised on the spot.
The boat then crosses the lake for about two and a half hours, a relaxed stretch with open views of Titicaca. On Taquile the village sits at the end of a long path that climbs gradually. The village has a communal cooperative worth a stop for its high-quality handmade textiles, before the return trip to Puno and the transfer back to your hotel.
