About this tour


DAY 1

Early in the morning, we will pick you up at the hotel located in the city of Puno to go to the port lake, and take the regular boat to start the excursion visiting the Uros Floating Islands. These beautiful islands, handmade by the man, are made with totora reed and there are about 80 islands of this material around.

The islands of Uros are built by weaving the totora reed and also, they build their houses with the same material and cook outdoors to avoid fires. You will meet the friendly Uros people, their customs and lifestyle. 

The Titicaca tour continues taking a boat ride towards Amantani Island, sailing the extensive Lake Titicaca considered the highest navigable lake in the world with an altitude of 3,812 meters above sea level, and it is the second largest lake in South America.

Upon arrival, the friendly community will welcome us. There are in total 800 families and this mystical island has important ceremonial centers and shamans who see the future through coca leaves. We will have lunch with the local people to learn more about their lifestyle.

Then we will ascend to Pacha Tata (4,100 meters above sea level), where is located the most important mystical ceremonial center of the Lake Titicaca, to see the beautiful sunset.

Enjoy a lovely dinner with the local people, and if you wish, then you can participate in traditional activities with them.

You will spend the night in a cozy family house.

 

DAY 2

After a traditional Andean breakfast, we will embark on the boat to visit Taquile Island, located 28 miles from Amantaní Island. Taquile has an altitude of 3,950 meters above sea level, however, the highest point reaches 4,050 meters.

On this island, you will enjoy spectacular Lake views, as well as its landscapes surrounded by Andes mountains and an amazing blue sky. Here you will admire wonderful flora such as the Cantuta flower, and the medicinal plant Muña with healing properties, most used in infusions. The fauna is from farm animals such as cows, rams, chickens, among others.

We will appreciate a special show of the local community with dances, music and a photo session with traditional costumes, while you are enjoying lunch.

The Taquile island is well known because of its talented people. The textile art is really impressive with ancient and organic techniques, like the use of natural dyeing from vegetables.

At the end, we will take the boat back towards the port lake of the city of Puno. Then, we are going to drop you off at your hotel.

Frequently asked questions

The Titicaca Islands excursion lasts two days and one night. During this tour, tourists will immerse themselves in the ancestral culture of the Uros, Amantani, and Taquile Islands, enjoying stunning natural landscapes and the authenticity of their inhabitants. This time is ideal for exploring each island and participating in cultural activities, ensuring a complete and enriching experience. Comfortable, warm clothing is recommended due to the climatic variations of the Peruvian highlands.

The tour includes a series of activities designed to offer a complete experience of Lake Titicaca. Tourists will visit the floating islands of the Uros people, where they will learn about the construction of these unique platforms. In Amantani, they will enjoy an overnight stay in a local home, experiencing the daily life of the inhabitants and participating in a traditional festival. Finally, on Taquile Island, visitors will appreciate the beautiful landscape and learn about local crafts. Each activity is designed to connect tourists with the local culture and nature.

The tour price includes boat transportation from Puno to the islands, accommodations in a local home in Amantani with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a bilingual guide throughout the tour. All entrance fees to the islands and scheduled activities are also included. It's important to bring some extra money for personal purchases or tips. This experience is designed so that tourists can enjoy themselves without worrying about additional expenses, allowing them to focus on experiencing the surroundings and making unforgettable memories.

The best time to visit the Titicaca Islands is during the dry season, from May to October. During these months, the weather is more stable, with clear skies and pleasant temperatures, allowing you to fully enjoy outdoor activities and panoramic views of the lake. However, it is also peak tourist season, so booking in advance is recommended. The wet season, from November to April, offers a less crowded experience, but with occasional rain that may affect some transfers and outdoor activities.

The Titicaca Islands tour is designed for people with a moderate physical level. Although hiking on the islands, especially on Taquile, can be challenging due to the altitude and slopes, the tour is paced at a leisurely pace, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenery without rushing. It is recommended that you be in good general health and prepare for the altitude by drinking plenty of water and allowing time for acclimatization. If you have mobility or health issues, it is advisable to consult with the tour operator before booking to ensure necessary accommodations can be made.

Faszinierender Titicacasee Ausflug

Dieses Tour war einfach unglaublich! Von Puno aus ging es zu den Uros schwimmenden Inseln, Amantani und Taquile. Die Inseln sind so einzigartig und die Kultur der Einheimischen ist faszinierend. Die Organisation war top, die Guides waren super freundlich und hatten so viel Wissen. Das Mittagessen auf Taquile war ein Highlight, so lecker! Kann diesen Ausflug mit Tangol Tours wirklich jedem empfehlen.
