What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this experience.
Stop at: Hotel, Uros Floating Islands, Lake Titicaca and Puno, Peru.
5:30 AM – Hotel/Bus station to Puno port
Island process building
You’ll be collected from your hotel in Puno city or at the bus station (if arriving from Cusco or Arequipa) and transferred to Puno port on a 15-minute drive.
5:45 AM – Puno port to Uros Islands
Climb aboard the engine boat and begin your voyage to the 30 min away journey to Floating Islands, in which you can absorb the tranquility and stillness of the magnificent Lake Titicaca, only disrupted by the passing of another vessel.
As you approach your destination, take note of the large, grass-like reeds growing by the wayside, which are famously used in the construction of the islands you’re about to visit.
Practice your Aymara greetings with your guide, and get ready to meet the Uros people, who are eagerly waiting to receive you.
6:15 AM – Guided Tour of Uros Islands
On arrival, you’ll be helped down onto dry land, and shown around one of the islands. Meet the local inhabitants, see the way they live, and learn from your guide just how vital the Totora reed is for this community.
You’ll be given the opportunity to ride on a traditional reed boat (at an additional cost), and experience this unique form of transport normally used by the island dwellers.
Uros reed house
In this modern day and age, it is rare to find a community who has such a special relationship with their surrounding environment, and with such an ingenious way to live sustainably. Seize the chance to pay a visit to the Uros people whilst you’re in Puno, and witness this for yourself!
6:50 AM – Uros to Puno port
Time to return by the same boat to Puno city
