Uros and Taquile Full Day Tour from Puno by Fast Boat
From €23 per person
See availability →This Uros and Taquile full day tour from Puno crosses Lake Titicaca by fast boat to the reed islands and a hillside walk on Taquile, with lunch and a bilingual guide.
The Uros and Taquile full day tour from Puno fills about nine hours on Lake Titicaca, with a speedboat linking each stop. The day begins with a pickup from hotels in the centre of Puno or from the Plaza de Armas, then a transfer to the main port.
The first stop is the Uros, where the islands, the houses and the rafts are all built from totora, the aquatic plant that grows in the lake. You get time to walk around, and a turn on a reed raft is available as an extra, paid on the spot. From there the boat carries on to Taquile Island, where a walk uphill brings views of the landscape with the lake always in sight.
- Fast boat to the Uros Floating Islands and on to Taquile
- Entrance tickets to both islands
- Lunch on Taquile at a local restaurant that serves grilled trout
- English and Spanish speaking guide
- Drop-off back at the Plaza de Armas in Puno
After lunch and a slight rest, you walk back down to the harbour and take the boat to Puno. An optional visit to the Mirador del Puma viewpoint can be added, and hotels outside the centre can be picked up on request for a supplement. Tips and drinks are not included. The tour is not suitable for people with respiratory problems.
