Uros Floating Islands - Your epic tour begins with a transfer to the boat pier where you will embark on a 25 minutes boat ride to see the life on the floating islands of Uros. As you begin sailing away, you will get a pristine view of the snow capped Andean peaks at a distance.
As we will reach to the shores of Uros islands, locals will extend a warm welcome and will introduce you to their life on this man made island. People here speak Aymara, our tour guide will teach you a few words so you can greet them in their language.
The head of the community will demonstrate on how they build these islands and will share the history of it.
If desired, you can buy some souvenirs here.
The locals will then offer a short ride on their totora reed boat to the main island of Uros (this has an additional cost).
You will have some free time to stroll around, the island is also made of totora reed. Once you have had your fill of the history and views, we will embark on a journey to Amantani Island.
Amantani Island - As we would dock into the shores of Amantani island, locals would extend a warm welcome to you. They will accompany you to their house where you will be spending the night in a private room. They will serve a freshly cooked authentic Peruvian meal for lunch. After having lunch you will have some free time to wink a nap or saunter through the cobble stone streets of this beautiful island. In the evening our guide would meet you to start your up hill walk to the two ancient Incan temple Pachatata and Pachamama. These temples offer a stunning panoramic view of the Lake Titicaca and you can witness the sunset from here. Once you are back from this short tour, your host family would have dinner cooked. After dinner, you may join the local folkloric musical event. Your host would help you get dressed in a traditional attire and walk you to the community hall where the event would be held. Young boys from the island play live Andean Folkloric Music while the visitors dance to the tune.
