DAY 1: Uros Floating Islands & Overnight at Taquile Island
Today, your Private tour guide and driver will be waiting for you at your hotel to take you to the highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca. During the morning, we will visit the highly unique Uros Floating Islands, which have been built using only totora reeds, a water plant that grows in the lake. You will be amazed at how locals use totora reeds to build their canoes, houses, beds and many other objects necessary in their daily lives. As part of your visit to Uros, you will ride on a totora reed canoe, which will let you experience a smooth and pleasant trip around the islands. From here, we will continue on to Taquile Island via motor boat for 2 hours, so you can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery of Lake Titicaca. Upon arrival to the beach at Taquile, you will enjoy a delicious lunch and an opportunity to take a short hike to explore around the island. During the evening, you will be welcomed to your island hut with a locally cooked Peruvian dinner, and you will pass the night in your cozy little hut. (L, D)
Day 2: Amantani Island & Return to Puno
Today early in the morning, you will arise to a locally cooked breakfast with a spectacular view of the sunrise overlooking Lake Titicaca. After breakfast, you will walk around Taquile Island and learn about its pre-Incan constructions and agricultural terraces. Later in the morning, we will depart Taquile Island to take you to Amantani Island on a 30 minute motor boat ride. At this island, you may notice that their specialties are textiles, weaving and ceramics. The life on this small island is rather simple but fascinating as there are no hotels, cars and limited electricity. You will enjoy a short walk around this island before having a tasty lunch in a traditional Amantani restaurant. After lunch, it will be time to return back to your hotel in Puno via motor boat across the lake. (L, D)
