Overview
DAY 1: CULTURAL EXPLORATION IN UROS & AMANTANI
Set off on an unforgettable adventure to the heart of Lake Titicaca, starting your day at the vibrant port of Puno. On board a comfortable and safe boat, we head towards the fascinating Floating Islands of the Uros. Here you’ll have the unique opportunity to get a close look at the daily life and traditions of the local families, visiting two emblematic islands.
The adventure continues towards Amantani Island, a journey of approximately two and a half hours that reveals impressive lake scenery all along the way. Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by local families, who will invite you to share their daily life and hospitality.
After a gentle 30-minute walk along paths surrounded by natural landscapes, you will reach the cozy family homes on Amantani. Here you will enjoy a delicious lunch prepared with fresh Andean ingredients. Once recharged, we head up to the ancient Inca ceremonial temples of “Pachamama” and “Pachatata”, located at the top of the island. This sacred place is not only a site of deep spirituality, but also the perfect viewpoint to admire panoramic vistas of the lake and one of the most spectacular sunsets in the world.
As night falls, the experience continues. Take part in a festive welcome organized by the local families. Music, dancing and traditional dress await you in a celebration that promises to be as authentic as it is moving.
DAY 2: CHARM & TRADITION IN TAQUILE
After a comforting breakfast with lake views, we say goodbye to Amantani and sail towards Taquile Island. This is a true treasure of living traditions, famous for its impressive textiles and handicrafts, recognized worldwide. The people of Taquile will offer us an immersion in their customs through dances and presentations that reflect their rich cultural heritage.
We continue our exploration with a typical lunch, where every bite pays tribute to the local cuisine. While you are here, don’t miss the chance to contemplate the breathtaking views over Lake Titicaca — the perfect setting to pause, reflect and admire the beauty around you.
We end our visit to Taquile by walking down to the port, where we board the boat back to Puno, arriving at around 3:30 p.m.
