Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Day 1: Uros Islands and Amantani Island

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Puno. Head to the Puno port, where your professional kayak team awaits. Set off on a 1-hour and 20-minute kayak journey across the breathtaking Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world.

Admire the beautiful Puno Bay and the stunning flora and fauna that surround it. Arrive at the floating island of Uros, a collection of handmade artificial islands located in the high-altitude region of the Andes. Meet the indigenous Uro community, who have constructed and inhabited these floating structures for centuries.

After visiting the Uros Islands, depart on a regular boat to Amantani Island. Upon arrival, settle into your host family house for the night. Enjoy a typical Andean lunch consisting of quinoa soup and lake fish, along with comforting coca tea.

Explore Amantani, known for its panoramic views of Lake Titicaca and the surrounding mountains. Visit Pachatata, a viewpoint atop a hill that offers spectacular views of the lake and its surroundings. In the evening, enjoy dinner and a lively local party organized by the community.

Day 2: Taquile Island and Return to Puno

Start your day with an early morning breakfast before departing to Taquile Island by regular boat. The journey across the stunning Lake Titicaca takes about an hour.

Upon arrival on the island, walk to the small yet charming main square. Visit the local museum (optional) or explore wonderful textile shops. Taquile Island is known for its rich cultural heritage and impressive landscapes.

The indigenous community here has upheld ancestral traditions and sustainable ways of life. The people of Taquile are renowned for their expertise in creating high-quality textiles, which are considered invaluable heritage. The inhabitants are master weavers, crafting textiles by hand using techniques passed down through generations.

These textiles are artistic and cultural expressions, featuring patterns and colors that reflect Andean cosmovision and the community’s history. Each piece tells a story and can communicate the wearer’s social status, gender, and identity. Have lunch at a local restaurant and then take the regular boat back to the Puno port. Finally, return to your hotel.
