- Uros Floating Islands - At 9:00 am our customers are collected from their hotels and then transferred down to the harbor. At the harbor we will embark on a motorized boat that will take us to the tribes of the Uros people.
The boat ride last roughly 30 minutes and offers fine views of the Lake Titicaca, as well as from the surrounding mountains. Upon our arrival our group we will be welcomed by a group of islanders, who afterwards will show us around.
Our guide will explain important aspects of the live of these people and afterwards you will go for a ride in a small reed boat made by the Uros people. The reed boat will take you from one island to another, so that you may meet other locals from another island.
The distance from one island to another is not long. In Uros you will be able to purchase magnificent handicraft made by the Uros women.

Floating island communities aren’t a common sight. Nestled between the boundaries of Peru and Bolivia lies Lake Titicaca - not only the planet’s highest lake but also the originating place of the Inca Manco Capac. Around 85 floating islands are home to the Uros people, with their primary building material being reeds. The unique lifestyle and culture, deeply embedded in Peru’s ancient customs and history, is truly mesmerizing.
