We will be picking you up from your hotel within the historic centre of Puno between 0745 and 0800 in the morning. Before boarding the motor boat to Uros Island we will have a brief stop at the boat pier where you can buy some snacks and bottled water. Once onboard the boat, a local musician would welcome you with an Andean Folkloric music. Our guide would then introduce himself and the captain of the boat before giving you a brief about the day’s itinerary on the World’s highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca. Our first stop will be at the iconic floating islands of Uros. During the journey from the mainland to one of the Uros Islands, you can see totora plants that grow on Lake Titicaca. These constitute the basic source of food and, at the same time, they serve as a maintenance system that the Uros have to perpetuate the existence of the islands As the boat would dock in, local women dressed in the local attire would extend a warm welcome to the place they call home. The head of the island would then demonstrate how they build these islands using totora plants and would share a few words in their native language (Aymara). Natives here are known for their handicrafts, so you may buy some if you would wish to. You will then have an option of sailing on the traditional totora reed boat (10 Soles) to the main island of Uros. If desired, you can get your passport stamped here as a souvenir. From here, we will start our boat ride to Amantani islands. You may walk up to the open deck on the upper level of the boat and get some photos of the floating islands that you would be passing through.

As we would dock into the shores of Amantani island, locals would extend a warm welcome to you. The head of the family will be walking you to their house where you will be spending the night in a private room. They would welcome you with a freshly cooked authentic Peruvian meal for lunch. After having lunch you would have some free time to wink a nap or saunter through the cobble stone streets of this beautiful island. In the evening our guide would meet you to start your up hill walk to the two ancient Incan temple Pachatata and Pachamama. These temples offer a stunning panoramic view of the Lake Titicaca and you can witness the sunset from here. Once you are back from this short tour, your host family would have dinner cooked for you. And after relishing on a Peruvian meal for dinner (with options for vegetarians), you may join the local folkloric musical event. Your host would help you get dressed in a traditional attire and walk you to the community hall where the event would be held. Young boys from the island play live Andean Folkloric Music while the visitors dance to the tune.
