Lake Titicaca Day Trip: Uros, Taquile and Local Lunch
From €71 per person
See availability →A Lake Titicaca day trip to Uros and Taquile by small motorboat: a visit to the reed islands, a climb on a narrow path to Taquile's centre and lunch at a local restaurant.
This Lake Titicaca day trip to Uros and Taquile starts in the morning with a pickup at your accommodation in the centre of Puno and a transfer to the local harbour, where a small motorboat waits. The trip takes about ten hours, with the boat bringing you back to Puno's main square at the end of the afternoon.
The first call is the Uros Floating Islands, a small community living on reeds for decades. The Uros built floating platforms, reed houses and canoes, and so created a little world of their own. The boat then continues to Taquile Island, set in the middle of the lake. From the harbour you follow a narrow path up to the centre of the island, with landscapes along the way that include the Bolivian mountain range.
At the top, a local guide explains traditional life on Taquile. There is free time to wander, and at midday the group meets for lunch in a local restaurant. Then you walk down to the harbour for the boat home.
