Highlights
- Lake Titicaca - Nestled between Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, offering a unique sailing experience.
- Puno - Islas de los Uros - We will collect you from your hotel in Puno’s historic center between 06:45 and 07:00. Before boarding the motorboat to Uros Island, we’ll make a brief stop at the dock where you can buy snacks and bottled water. Once on board, our guide and the boat captain will introduce themselves and provide an overview of the Lake Titicaca itinerary. Our first destination is the floating islands of Uros. During the journey, you’ll see cattail plants growing in the lake. Upon arrival, the island chief will demonstrate how the islands are constructed with reeds and share a few words in Aymara. The locals are known for their crafts, which you can purchase. You will also have the option to sail on a reed boat (15 Soles) to the main island of Uros and get your passport stamped as a souvenir. From here, we will start our boat trip to the Taquile Islands. You can head to the upper deck of the boat to take photos of the floating islands.
- Taquile Island - Located on Lake Titicaca, Taquile Island is home to a Quechua community of 2,000 people, primarily farmers, fishermen, and renowned weavers. Unlike the traditional view of weaving as a women’s craft, in Taquile, men perform much of the intricate thread work. The locals will invite us to watch and participate in their traditional dances. We will then walk to a local restaurant for lunch. After lunch, around 2:30 PM, you will board the boat back to Puno. At approximately 4:30 PM, the boat will dock at the Puno pier, where we will meet you and return you to your hotel in the historic center of the city.

Horrific experience - Horrible experience with this agency. For starters, they outsourced our field trip to two agencies. We had a small accident in a taxi hired by them and no one from the agency worried about our state of health. At this time we are still waiting for your attention. Moreover we were offered a hotel with heating and hot water, none of this was fulfilled. A disaster of such magnitude that we will formalize a report to the tourist police of Peru, as their insurance should cover our injuries. Don't contract with them. Look, they have several names in Puno.
