Uros Floating Island and Taquile Island Tour Full Day

The Uru Culture is one of the oldest and most indigenous ethnic groups on Lake Titicaca. They speak the Aymara language and have inhabited the lake since the Incas began expanding their terrorities over the plateau hundreds of years ago. The men are expert navigators of the totora rafts and the women dedicate themselves to embroidering their native textiles. This isolated civilisation is entirely dependant on the Totora reed with which they build their islands, houses, rafts and which also serves as food and fuel for their community.

The Island of Taquile is home to around 2,200 inhabitants, all of which speak the native Quechua language. Its residents are famous for their fine handwoven textiles which are regarded as among the highest quality in all of Peru. Knitting is exclusively performed by males, who are taught the skill as children, and the women are experts in wool spinning and using vegetables and minerals to dye the wool. The women are also the weavers of the Chumpis, the wide colourful belts that are commonly worn in the community.

Itinerary

The tour begins with pick up from your hotel in Puno at 6:45am. You’ll then be driven by private transport to the port of Puno. Here you will take the 7:15am boat to the floating islands of Uros, located 10 km (30 mins by boat) from the port.

The indigenous Uru people, construct their islands out of huge blocks of Totora Reed, an aquatic plant native to Lake Titicaca. The islands are covered with a fresh layer of reeds every 20 days, and are able to float due to porosity of the blocks that release gases produced by decomposition. These blocks are then joined together and anchored to the lake bed using eucalyptus sticks.

The Uru culture is one of the oldest ethnic groups on Lake Titicaca, who have inhabited its waters since the Incas began expanding their terrorities over the plateau hundreds of years ago. They dedicate themselves to fishing and bird hunting and are entirely dependant on the Totora reed with which they build their islands, houses, rafts and which also serves as food and fuel for the inhabitants.

After saying goodbye to the Uru people, you’ll take the boat a further 1-hour to the island of Taquile. When you arrive you’ll walk along a wide trail to the Plaza de Armas, all the while admiring the breathtaking deep blue shores of Lake Titicaca. Throughout your tour of the island, you’ll visit places where local artwork is made, and take lunch at a local family home.

After lunch, you will return by boat to the port of Puno and be transported by car back to your hotel in the city.

A very personal experience

Our guide and driver could not have been more helpful. The bus was just for us but was modern, clean and tidy. The visits to the archaeological sites and the weavers were fascinating and breaks were timed around our needs. I can't recommend this outing too highly.

Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain

We spent 3 full days with Domingo combining the 2-day Sacred Valley/Machu Pichu tour with 1-day Rainbow Mountain, both originated in Cusco. The entire trip was awesome! Domingo provided everything we could as and more for our small group. He was punctual, helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to travel with. His experience and local knowledge was evident as he (and our drivers) guided us across and through these cultural and geographic spectacles. Domingo provided insight we couldn't have achieved on our own, while giving us our space to explore and enjoy the surrounding at our own pace. Domingo also provided technical assistance if required, such as assisting us with train schedules. Domingo help make this trip a marvelous and memorable adventure..

An unforgettable tour

Excellent planning and accompaniment of the whole team. A lot of professionalism on the part of agents and guides. The only thing we didn't like was the little lunch option. While the buffet was optional, there were no other options either or told us in any previous village if we wanted to buy our lunch beforehand. We were practically forced to buy that lunch which by the way we found expensive.

Above and Beyond! The Best Way to See Peru

Our 14-day trip to Peru with Machu Picchu Valjes was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Traveling to a new continent with children where there is a language barrier can be daunting, but this team made us feel completely at home. From the moment we landed until the moment we departed, we had professional, prompt guides and drivers by our side.
