Uros, Taquille & Amantani

On this tour we will begin by exploring the ancient and beautiful floating islands of Uros, which go back to pre-inca times. We will then head to the Amantani island, navigating the lake for approximately 3 hours. Once there, our host family will be waiting to welcome us into their home, so that we can begin our ancestral life experience. 

You will be served a homemade lunch and you will be able to rest and see closely their customs, lifestyle and activities that remain since ancient times.

In the afternoon, we will walk toward the archeological center and its ceremonial temple dedicated to Papachata. From there we will enjoy a gorgeous view of Lake Titicaca and the spectacular sunset.

We will return home, eat dinner and have a local party. The next morning, after breakfast, we will bid farewell to the island and head toward Taquile Island, our last stop on the lake, and we’ll explore its pre-inca archeological remains before going back to Puno.
