Día 1: Puno
We will pick you up from your hotels/terrestrial terminal between 6:40 a.m. to 7:20 a.m. (we will give you a better time according to the hotel where you are) and we will take you to the port of Puno, where we will proceed to take our modern fast boat, in order to embark on our first destination: the floating islands of the Uros.
The guide will present the lifestyle of the inhabitants of these beautiful Floating Islands, we will be an average of one hour in these islands, then we will continue our trip to the Island of Taquile.
Already embarking, we will go to the northern part of Taquile (1h30 min trip), an island where we will take a 20-minute walk to a local restaurant to have our delicious lunch menu.
We will carry out enjoyable activities such as dancing together with the local families of Taquile and we will have time to learn about their culture, through our bilingual guide.
After the exquisite lunch, we will descend to the white sand beach sector with wonderful views of the snow-capped mountains of the Andes mountain range (something you will never see in the sea!).
If you are daring you can bathe in the water of Titicaca (8°C), and if not, you will still have enough time to enjoy the beautiful views that this beautiful lake offers us.
Finally, and after a great day, we will return to the city of Puno, arriving at approximately 4pm.
