After breakfast, we will take a 2-hour motor boat excursion on the waters of Lake Titicaca, which straddles the border of Peru and Bolivia, to the unique floating “islands” of the Uros. These ancient inhabitants of the lake, known as the Water Tribe, have built their own “islands” by periodically adding new layers of a type of reed unique to the area called “totora”. Their houses and boats are also made of this material. There are more than forty of these islands, which have strategic defenses such as watchtowers just in case.

Then you head to the island of Amantani, which is inhabited by more than 3,000 Quechua-speaking natives, still governed by their ancient traditions, whose main occupations are the production of ceramics and textiles. You can explore the Inca and Tiahuanaco archaeological remains on the island. The positive energy here is so powerful that you have an almost panoramic view of the lake and you won’t want to miss the sunset and sunrise either. Lunch is a simple affair provided by us before spending the night in the home of a local islander, to enjoy the hospitality of a typical Amantani home.

After a hearty breakfast, you will visit the island of Taquile, a narrow, long and rather mountainous island, approximately 15 square kilometers, which was once used as a prison when it belonged to the Spanish. You will meet its inhabitants and admire their colorful textiles, which have been their staple trade since time immemorial. Here you can also enjoy a very picturesque walk, followed by lunch at a local restaurant. You will then return to the port of Puno at 5:00 pm.
