Uros Floating Islands Tour from Puno, Two Island Stops
From €29 per person
See availability →Uros floating islands tour from Puno in about three hours: a panoramic-window motorboat, family homes on a reed island and a second island with lake lookouts.
On this Uros floating islands tour from Puno, the lake opens up quickly: the islands lie about half an hour by boat from the port, yet they feel far from the mainland. They are built entirely of layered totora reeds and have housed the Uros people for generations. A pickup at your central Puno hotel is included. A motorboat with big panoramic windows then crosses the water, and your bilingual guide explains how these islands came about.
You set foot on two islands. The first is the main community island, where you step into the families' homes and learn how the ground is built, kept up and relaid with fresh reeds; a photo in traditional Uros dress is yours if you like. The second is calmer, with wooden lookout platforms and wide views over Titicaca, good for browsing handmade crafts, grabbing a snack or collecting the Uros stamp in your passport.
