What you'll see & do
- ✓Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, is nothing short of mesmerizing. As you cruise its shimmering waters, you'll be surrounded by vast, sweeping landscapes—mountainous shores, tranquil waters, and a deep blue sky. It’s an experience that feels otherworldly, and it sets the perfect stage for a day of adventure. Lake Titicaca, located between Peru and Bolivia, is the highest navigable lake in the world. You'll go onboard in a boat equipped with bus-style seats, a toilet, and an upper floor perfect for taking pictures.
- ✓Ready for an unforgettable adventure? Head to the Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca, where you’ll step onto islands made entirely of totora reeds. Imagine walking on soft, woven reeds beneath your feet as you explore these unique islands. You’ll meet the Uros people, who’ve been living on these floating islands for centuries, and get an insider look at how they build and maintain their homes. They’ll share stories about their daily lives, traditions, and how they’ve adapted to life on the lake. For an extra adventure, hop on a traditional reed boat made from the same reeds as the islands. Glide across the glimmering waters of Lake Titicaca for an experience that’ll leave you with unforgettable memories. (Note: the reed boat ride is optional and costs 20 soles per person, payable on-site.)
- ✓Taquile's textile art, recognized by UNESCO, is one of Peru's oldest and most cherished craft traditions. Here, men, women, and children work together to create intricate textiles, each piece a testament to their rich cultural heritage. During your visit, enjoy a leisurely stroll around the island, soaking in its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere. Embark on a brief trek from Taquile Port to the main square, a scenic uphill journey that takes approximately 30-40 minutes. As you make your way to the Plaza, you'll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the entire island and the captivating expanse of Lake Titicaca. After exploring, indulge in a delicious local lunch. You will have the choice of fresh trout or omelet, both accompanied by a quinoa soup + a cup of traditional Coca or Muña tea, known for its refreshing and invigorating properties. Once you've recharged, head back to Puno with a full heart and a camera full of memories—this trip will be one you'll never forget.
