Speedboat Day Trip to Uros and Taquile with Guide
From €24 per person
See availability →A speedboat day trip to Uros and Taquile from Puno: less time crossing the lake, more time on the islands, with a guide for the small group and a lunch on Taquile.
The point of this speedboat day trip to Uros and Taquile is time: the fast boat shortens the crossings, so more of the day goes to the islands themselves. The outing is planned to use the daylight, balancing boating, cultural visits and rest.
You start from a hotel in the city center, travel to the port and board a modern speedboat with a toilet on board, life jackets, a first-aid kit and oxygen. The first stop is the Uros floating islands, built on totora reeds. The route then continues to Taquile, where the views of the lake and the textile art are the main draw. UNESCO has listed the island's textile art as intangible heritage.
The group is small and the guide, who speaks Spanish and English, stays with it through the day. Lunch is a traditional meal on Taquile, served with quinoa soup and a main course of pan-fried trout.
