Uros and Taquile Full-Day Tour from Puno with Island Lunch
From €34 per person
See availability →A Uros and Taquile full-day tour from Puno by speedboat: the reed islands, the textile traditions of Taquile and a lunch on the island, with hotel transfers and a guide.
This Uros and Taquile full-day tour from Puno puts two very different island worlds into one outing on Lake Titicaca. After a pickup from a centrally located hotel, a speedboat takes you out to the Uros, islands hand-built from totora reeds by people who have adapted their way of life to the water.
You walk on the soft reed surface, hear about the customs of the community and see its crafts up close. The boat then continues to Taquile, an island whose textile art appears on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. On the island, the men show you their colourful textiles and way of life.
Lunch is served on Taquile, prepared by the islanders, with wide views over the lake and a vegetarian option available. The boat ride back to Puno closes the day.
