    This is not worth it. We...

    This is not worth it. We did not stop on any stops along the route. We did not stop at Sillustani on the way back. The guide was excellent but this tour is not worth your time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the service of our guide. Regarding the itinerary, kindly note that the stops mentioned (such as Sillustani) were not included in the program. On this route, the scheduled stops are mainly at La Raya Pass, restrooms, or for coffee upon request, as time is limited on a day tour. Additional visits would require more time and would extend beyond a one-day service. This activity is designed primarily to explore Lake Titicaca, which is the main focus of the tour. We sincerely apologize if this was not fully clear in advance, and please rest assured that our team always does its best to provide the most complete and enjoyable experience possible.

    Long drive from Cusco

    Our trip to Lake Titicaca from Cusco was great. Long car ride 6 hours one way. but with the visit to see the Uros island and how the people live. Richard our guide and driver was great. We had a good lunch in a restaurant in Puño before heading back to cucso. Overall the day was long but worth it. Would have like to see more of the beautiful lake, only saw the part where the Uros lived. Also would have been nice to cross lake to the Bolivia side. Kind of felt like we had to buy something from the Uros people when they gave their presentation.

    Absolutely fantastic experience

    What an incredible experience!! My husband and I had limited time and wanted to squeeze this into our packed schedule, and we’re so glad we did. Our guide Richard was excellent and picked us up from our hotel in Cusco at 5am. Yes, it was a very long drive all the way to Lake Titicaca, but completely worth it. We had exclusive time with the locals on Uros Island, a private boat tour on Lake Titicaca, and even got to dress up in their traditional dresses! And of course, Richard took wonderful photos of us the entire trip, and also did a fantastic job on the long drives back and forth from Cusco. It took the whole day, but we are so happy with this unique experience and cannot recommend it enough!

    Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.

    How much does Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puno is not rushed.

    Is Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cusco to Lake Titicaca Day Trip | Uros Floating Island Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puno?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puno?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puno?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
