Tour Description

Day 1
Our guide will pick you up from the hotel in Puno very early in the morning, to take a two-hour motor excursion on the waters of Lake Titicaca to the unique Floating "Islands"of the Uros. These ancient inhabitants of the lake, known as the Water Tribe, have built their own "islands" by periodically adding new layers of a type of reed unique to the area called "Totora". Their homes and boats are also made from this material. After having experienced some of the ancient traditions of the local people, you continue your motor boat trip to Amantani Island. This island is inhabited by Quechua- speaking natives still governed by their ancient traditions, whose main occupations are the production of ceramics and textiles. The positive energy of this Island is so powerful that it is known as the "Love Island". Lunch. Upon arrival to the island, accommodation and overnight at the house of a local islander to enjoy the hospitality of a typical Amantani home. Dinner included.

Day 2
After breakfast, you have time to stroll at leisure through the quaint streets of this colourful island. Late morning, you take a motor-boat to Taquile Island, also inhabited by Quechua-speaking natives who have developed efficient and unique social systems, as well as fine hand weaving techniques, down through the generations. It is necessary to go up a stairway of more than 567 steps-streaks of stone that wind their way among greenery platforms-to arrive at the Town of Taquile where we will have a break to eat. By the afternoon, will back to Puno and in the evening will arrive to the hotel.
