Having picked you up from your hotel at around 7:30, we'll head to the port in Puno. Here, we'll board our fast speed boat and set sail on Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake, located at 12,500 feet (3,810 metres) above sea level.
Upon arrival to Huayllano, the lake port for the Isle of Taquile, whose inhabitants give a friendly welcome to visitors. Traditions, customs and colourful costumes are maintained on the island. The islanders are skilful craftsmen and employ the techniques developed over the centuries by their ancestors. You will be welcomed into one of the houses to share their activities, such as weaving. After this is a delicious lunch made from local ingredients. Then, a walk back to the Main Square to board the launch that will take you to the floating islands of Uros.
These islands consist of layers of totora and are their inhabitants' homes and workplaces. Stepping on them feels very much like a water bed. We see the houses, the islands and meet its friendly inhabitants. Uros people are descendents of one of the oldest South American groups. Rides on traditional reed boats can be arranged.
Mid afternoon, once all activities are completed we will embark and head back to the port of Puno and your hotel.
