What you'll see & do
- ✓Ready for something unique? Head out to the Floating Islands, where the ground beneath you is made entirely of tightly woven totora reeds. It feels like walking on a soft, springy surface—definitely a one-of-a-kind experience! On your first stop, you’ll get a firsthand look at how the islands are built. The locals will explain the traditional techniques they use, and you’ll get to see how they’ve made this way of life work for centuries. You’ll even be invited into their homes to see what daily life is like on the islands. And if you're up for it, you can dress like the locals (optional and fun experience). The Uros people are friendly, so feel free to take photos or videos to remember the moment. They love sharing their story and culture with visitors. Want to see the lake from a new angle? Hop on a traditional totora reed boat, known as the "Balsas de totora." It’s a cool way to glide across the water and really get a sense of the floating islands (optional, 20 soles p/p)
- ✓Taquile's textile art, recognized by UNESCO, is one of Peru's oldest craft traditions, with men, women, and children all contributing to the creation of these intricate textiles. The textiles not only serve as a form of artistic expression, but they also reflect the islanders' way of life, with each piece symbols and patterns that represent their daily experiences, beliefs, and values. Through their weaving, the locals form a deep connection to their heritage, with each stitch telling a story of the island's traditions, social structures, and community life. During your visit, take a leisurely stroll around the island to fully immerse yourself in its scenic beauty. Embark on a brief 30-minute trek from the Taquile Port to the main square, navigating a charming uphill path. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the captivating expanse of Lake Titicaca. You can also savor a delicious trout from the lake, accompanied by quinoa soup, with stunning views of the lake.
- ✓At Sillustani, travelers will discover ancient towers called chullpas, showcasing impressive Inca and pre-Inca architecture. These towers are set near the picturesque Lake Umayo, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The site provides a fascinating glimpse into how ancient Andean people buried their dead, reflecting their strong belief in the afterlife. To reach the top of the site, visitors will walk for about 30 minutes, rewarding them with panoramic views of the area. The highlight is the tallest tower, standing at 10 meters, which offers an even more incredible perspective of the landscape and the beautiful Lake Umayo. As you explore Sillustani, you'll not only marvel at the architectural prowess of the Inca and pre-Inca civilizations but also immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Andes. The serene beauty of Lake Umayo, combined with the historical significance of the chullpas, creates a unique and memorable experience.
- ✓Travelers visiting Lake Titicaca will experience the captivating beauty of the world’s highest navigable lake, surrounded by stunning Andean landscapes and rich cultural heritage. You will travel aboard a comfortable motorized boat equipped with bus-style seats, a bathroom, and panoramic windows, ensuring a relaxing and scenic journey across the lake.
