Itinerary
We will start with the transfer from the hotel at 06:40 a.m. to the lake port of Puno, to board a motor boat where we will travel to the floating island of the Uros and we will know the life of the inhabitants.
The Uros is a very ancient native community made up of more than 40 islands, which are built with totora reeds by its own inhabitants, these are used for the construction of their homes, boats (rafts), fuel and food for human consumption. In this excursion we will visit 2 to 3 islands during 30 minutes each one (with the option of doing the tour in the typical Totora boats). Then we will continue traveling to the island of Taquile, upon arrival we will have a 1 hour walk.
In Taquile we will observe the landscape, customs and have lunch in a local restaurant where we will have a typical lunch based on trout. We will also have free time to explore the island and meet its inhabitants who will show us their way of life through their textiles. Finally we will be returning to Puno at 03:30 pm.

EXCELENTE A base de 80 reseñas Idamar2024-04-01Verificada Great tour company I used go Xplore peru (Humberto) for organising my trip to MachuPicchu. Absolutely recommendedI arrived in Cusco without prior reservation. Not ideal due to high season. I tried 5 agencies. NONE of these agencies were able to help with a one day tour. Luckily I meet Humberto. He made some phone calls and arranged the 1 day trip. A trip others have said impossible. I was almost hesitant to believe him. He made it happen. He speaks fluently English Joshua H2024-03-22Verificada Very good The travel advisor Humberto was very competent and went to great lengths to explain the trip. The trip to Salkantay itself also exceeded my expectations. Diego Pasiche2023-11-16Verificada Security and Trust guaranteed Humberto always gives you the facilities and options to make your trip the best. It is the second time we have made the trip with him and always improving.... Humberto and his agency guarantee you security and confidence. Grace Stevens2023-07-20Verificada Would recommend this for ease! We were recommended to book via Humberto for a package deal! It was certainly nice not needing to worry as much about where to be and when! We booked months in advance and when we got to Cusco met with Humberto who explained everything. We did Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain and the Amazon Trip. I would recommend all of them! Very professional!
