Uros Floating Islands Half-Day Tour with Optional Swim
From €6 per person
See availability →A Uros floating islands half-day tour from Puno by speedboat, with a guide born on the islands, a demonstration of reed-island building and an optional swim in Lake Titicaca.
On this Uros floating islands half-day tour you leave Puno with a hotel pickup, board a speedboat at the port and cross Lake Titicaca toward islands that glow golden with totora reeds. Local families greet you on arrival, and your guide is someone born on the islands.
The guide explains how blocks of roots are woven together into a base and how the ground is constantly renewed. Those who like a challenge can take an optional swim in the lake, supervised by the guide, at over 3,800 metres above sea level. You can also choose a ride on a traditional totora reed raft between the islands, watching birds and everyday island life.
