Tour Overview
This Titicaca Lake tour is one of those life moments that feel simple, but stays with you long after it ends. From the moment you head out onto the lake, everything slows down. The vast blue water and the open sky make it feel unique.
The trip begins with a visit to the floating islands of Uros, where families live on islets erected entirely from totora doormats. Walking across the soft face feels strange at first, but you snappily get used to it. The people will be happy to explain how they make their homes, maintain the islets, and continue traditions that have was for generations.
After Uros, the experience continues deeper into the lake with the Amantani Island and route. Spending time on these islets gives you a more particular look at life on Lake Titicaca. On Amantani, you stay with an original family, where you’ll share reflections, and experience diurnal routines that haven’t changed much over time. It’s simple, warm, and veritably genuine.
Taquile offers a different atmosphere, with wide views over the lake and a strong sense of community. The islet is known for its fabrics and traditions, and walking its paths feels calm and slow. There’s no rush then, just time to enjoy the geography and the stories behind it.
By the end of this Tour, Lake Titicaca no longer feels like just a place you visited. It feels like a world you were curtly part of. This is the kind of trip that’s not about checking sights off a list, but about understanding a way of life that continues to live still on the water.
We will start our first day stint by leaving the hotel in Puno very early and heading to the main boat pier. On the way, we will stop snappily so we can buy some snacks or drinks if we want. Our original musician will hail us with Andean warbles once we board, setting a fun and lively mood for the day. The companion will introduce himself and explain what we will do on Lake Titicaca.
Our first stop will be the floating islands of Uros, where we will see the unique Totora doormats that form the islets. Original women in traditional clothes will partake in the islet’s history. The islet chief will explain how these communities survive and thrive using only the natural coffers around them. We'll also learn some words in Aymara and explore the small floating village.
We'll have the option to ride the classic Totora reed boat, paying the locals directly if we want the experience. For those who prefer, we can continue on our motor boat. While on the islets, we will walk around, enjoy prints, and buy original crafts if asked. The calm lake and peaceful decor will give us a perfect preface to Titicaca life.
By afternoon, Our host family will hail us and show us to our private room. The islet will be simple but serene, with no electricity or running water, helping us connect with nature.
