Uros, Amantani and Taquile 2-Day Tour with Homestay
From €54 per person
See availability →A Uros Amantani Taquile 2-day tour from Puno that includes a night with a local family on Amantani, three meals and a sunset climb to the island's summit.
The Uros Amantani Taquile 2-day tour gives Lake Titicaca time to sink in, because you sleep on the lake itself. Day one starts with a hotel pickup and a boat to the Uros, where fishermen and hunters live on islands of totora reeds and the guide shows how the plant is woven and stacked.
The boat then goes on to Amantani. A local family welcomes you into their home, and lunch is a traditional meal cooked from local produce. Next you visit the pre-Inca Pachatata temple, and at dusk you climb to the island's summit, at 4130 m, to watch the sun go down over the lake. Dinner and the night are with the same family.
After breakfast on day two the route continues to Taquile, famous for its textiles. A special hat worn by locals tells you whether the wearer is single, married or an authority. You see temples, tombs and terraces dating from before the Incas and hear about traditional farming and old customs before the boat takes you back to Puno.
