Itinerary
Your Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Puno at approximately 7:30 AM. From there, you will travel to the port of Puno, where you will board a tourist boat and begin your journey across the waters of Lake Titicaca.
Your first destination is the Uros Floating Islands, a fascinating group of artificial islands traditionally constructed using layers of totora reeds. During your guided visit, you will learn about the local community's history, daily activities, and traditional techniques used to build and maintain the floating islands. You will also have time to explore the surroundings and enjoy views across the lake.
After visiting Uros, continue by boat toward Amantani Island. The journey takes approximately two hours and thirty minutes, offering beautiful views of Lake Titicaca and the surrounding Andean landscape.
Upon arrival, local residents will welcome you before accompanying you on a walk to your host family's home. Enjoy a traditional lunch, including locally prepared trout, and take some time to rest before continuing your island experience.
Later, explore the island's landscapes and hike toward the ceremonial sites of Pachamama and Pachatata. These elevated locations are closely associated with the island's cultural traditions and offer impressive panoramic views of Lake Titicaca.
In the evening, enjoy dinner prepared by your host family and participate in a traditional Andean cultural gathering organized by the local community. This experience offers an opportunity to learn more about local music, clothing, and customs.
You will spend the night in a local family home on Amantani Island, enjoying a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by Lake Titicaca.
