Meet a local Uros family on the floating islands of Lake Titicaca. Learn about their traditions, discover how they use totora reeds, and enjoy an optional traditional boat ride.
Enjoy a half-day visit to the Uros Floating Islands, one of the main attractions of Puno Bay on Lake Titicaca. The islands are located approximately 8 km from the city of Puno and are inhabited by an Aymara community that continues to preserve its traditions, customs, and way of life on islands built from totora reeds.
The tour begins with pickup from your hotel located in the center of Puno. From there, you will be transferred to the Port of Puno to board a regular boat with comfortable seats, life jackets, and first-aid equipment. During the journey to the islands, you can enjoy views of Lake Titicaca and Puno Bay.
Upon arriving at the Uros Floating Islands, you will learn about the daily life of the community and discover the importance of totora reeds, a plant that is an essential part of their culture. The local inhabitants maintain traditional activities such as fishing, bird hunting, and egg collection. You will also learn about their traditional craftsmanship: the men are skilled in building and navigating totora reed boats, while the women are known for making mats, textiles, and other traditional handicrafts.
During the visit, you will have time to explore the islands, interact with local community members, and learn about their customs and traditions. You will also have the option to take a ride on a traditional totora reed boat, which is not included in the tour price.
After the visit, you will return by boat to the Port of Puno, where the service ends.
The tour is available at three departure times: 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
