Lake Titicaca - Around 06:45am pickup from your accommodation in Puno from where we take you to the local harbor where we board a small motorboat.
First, we visit The Uros Floating Islands, a small community that lives on these reed Islands for decades. The Uros people built floating platforms, made reed houses and canoes, creating their little world.

Once at the harbor of Taquile, we will walk up along a narrow path to the center of the island.
Along the way, we will enjoy stunning landscapes, including the Bolivian mountain range.
