Uros Floating Islands Small-Group Tour in Three Hours
From €7 per person
See availability →A Uros floating islands small group tour of three hours from Puno: cross Lake Titicaca by tourist boat and spend time with the families who live on the reeds.
If your time in Puno is short, a Uros floating islands small group tour gives you the lake in just three hours. Transport collects you from your hotel or the bus station, and the boat leaves the Puno cruise port for roughly 30 minutes of calm water.
The Uros islands are unique in the world: the people build their homes, rafts and platforms entirely from totora, an aquatic plant. Local families receive the group and share their traditions, their history and the way of life handed down through generations.
You learn how the islands are built and how the community organises itself, and you can look at their textile art and colourful clothing. A bilingual guide explains everything in Spanish and English.
- Pickup from a hotel or the bus station
- A tourist boat with all safety gear
- Admission ticket and a bilingual guide
The excursion is made for travellers who want something authentic and cultural without going far from the city. A cruise on the traditional reed boat is not included.
