Uros and Taquile Day Trip from Puno with Trout Lunch
From €31 per person
See availability →A Uros and Taquile day trip from Puno by fast boat, with hotel pickup, time with local families on the reed islands and a traditional trout lunch on Taquile Island.
The Uros and Taquile day trip from Puno begins with a pickup at your hotel in the centre. From the lake port a fast boat covers the short run, 15 to 20 minutes, to the floating Uros islands, with an English and Spanish guide introducing the life of their inhabitants from the start.
The Uros are a very old community living on more than 40 islands built from reeds. The same reeds go into their houses, boats, fuel and food. You visit the main island and tour two or three more, meeting local families. A ride in a typical totora boat is possible, though it is not included.
The boat then continues for around an hour and a half to Taquile. About three hours are spent on the island, taking in the landscape, learning how people live and seeing their textiles. Lunch is a traditional meal based on trout at a local restaurant, followed by free time to explore, then the boat back to Puno and a transfer to the city centre.
