Puno, Peru

Viaja con Amaru Explorer

Embark on an enchanting two-day journey through the stunning landscapes of Lake Titicaca, exploring the picturesque islands of Uros, Amantani, and Taquile. This comprehensive tour offers visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty of these remote Andean destinations.



Our itinerary commences with the pickup from your hotel in Puno at dawn, followed by boarding a regular boat for a journey along the lake port. Upon arrival at the floating islands of the Uros, we will interact with the friendly locals, learn about their customs, and explore the intricate reed structures. We will then proceed to Amantani Island, known for its welcoming community of approximately 800 families, which features significant ceremonial sites and revered shamans. During lunch, we will engage in cultural immersion with the locals. Our next destination will be Pacha Tata, located at 4,100 meters above sea level, where the most sacred ceremonial center of Lake Titicaca awaits, offering breathtaking sunset views. An authentic dinner with the islanders will follow, providing an opportunity to participate in traditional activities.

For the second day, after a traditional Andean breakfast, we will depart for Taquile Island, situated 28 miles from Amantani. This elevated location offers panoramic views of the lake, framed by the Andes and a pristine blue sky. The island is characterized by diverse flora, such as the vibrant Cantuta flower and the healing Muña plant. It also houses various farm animals, including cows, sheep, and chickens. Throughout the day, we will witness traditional dances, listen to music, and take photos dressed in native attire. Taquile is famous for its skilled artisans, particularly in textile artistry, demonstrating ancient techniques and natural dyes derived from vegetables.

Upon returning to the lake port, we will transfer you to your hotel.
