Uros Taquile Small-Group Tour by Speedboat with Lunch
From €25 per person
See availability →A Uros Taquile small group tour by speedboat from Puno, with a guide for the group, Taquile's textile culture and a traditional lunch of quinoa soup and trout.
This Uros Taquile small group tour by speedboat from Puno is built around a fast boat, a guide for the group and a Taquile lunch. The speedboat first reaches the Uros floating islands, raised on totora reeds, an age-old plant of the lake.
It then continues to Taquile, an island known for its views of the lake and its textile art. UNESCO has listed its textile art as intangible heritage, and the textiles, dances and customs show a culture that has outlasted the centuries. The guide shares the stories and traditions behind them.
Lunch is served on Taquile with a view of the water. The menu starts with quinoa soup, continues with pan-fried trout and Andean side dishes, and comes with local herbal teas; a vegetarian option is available.
