1 / 10Uros & Taquile Islands Full Day Tour with lunch
About this activity
Spend a full day exploring Lake Titicaca's most iconic islands—the entirely man-made floating villages of Uros and the Andean cultural heartland of Taquile. This tour combines extraordinary engineering, living history, and authentic regional cuisine in one immersive experience.
Join us on our boat trip at the Lake Titicaca, an adventure that will allow us to explore the famous floating islands of the Uros, whose most outstanding feature is that they were built by men.
We will also visit the wonderful island of Taquile, to observe vestiges of the Inca culture that still remain today. To finish the day, you will witness a typical cultural activity of the region and then, taste a delicious traditional lunch.
