About this experience

Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands is a popular and the best way to witness life on these remote islands. At 3812 metres above sea level (12506 ft.), Lake Titicaca is recognised as the world’s highlest navigable lake. Lake Titicaca straddles the border between Peru and Bolivia. A vast portion of the Lake belongs to Peru. It is home to many different remote islands where fishing and farming are main source of income. Floating islands of Uros, Taquile and Amantani are the prominent ones and are open for tourism. On this full day tour, you will be visiting the floating islands of Uros and Taquile Island with our local bi lingual (English and Spanish) travel expert. You will get an insight into the life of locals here and how they sustain their daily life with minimum resources. Locals here are untouched by modernity and maintain their age old traditions and customs. They still talk in Aymara and Quechua.

What you'll see and do

  1. Uros Floating Islands

    Your epic tour begins with a transfer to the boat pier where you will embark on a 25 minutes boat ride to see the life on the floating islands of Uros. As you begin sailing away, you will get a pristine view of the snow capped Andean peaks at a distance. As we will reach to the shores of Uros islands, locals will extend a warm welcome and will introduce you to their life on this man made island. People here speak Aymara, our tour guide will teach you a few words so you can greet them in their language. The head of the community will demonstrate on how they build these islands and will share the history of it. If desired, you can buy some souvenirs here. The locals will then offer a short ride on their totora reed boat to the main island of Uros (this has an additional cost of 10 Soles). You will have some free time to stroll around, the island is also made of totora reed. Once you have had your fill of the history and views, we will embark on a 2 hours journey to Taquile.

  2. Taquile Island

    As the boat would near the shores of Taquile Island, our local expert will be giving you a brief information of the life of locals here. It is almost a 45 minutes walk up the hill to the summit from where you will get to contemplate the views. Taquile is home to the best Andean handicrafts. Men here do the knitting while women spin the wool. People here dress based on their marital status. Our guide will be explaining this to you in detail. A village chief will give you a demonstration on how they dye the wool using vegetables. After a brief introduction, we will be stopping for lunch at a local restaurant. After lunch, we will be hiking back down to the pier and embark on our boat for a return trip to Puno. The distance of 36 kilometres (22 miles) will be covered roughly in two and a half hours. We will be reaching Puno by 0500 PM. Our representative will meet you and will transfer you back to your hotel within the centre of the city.

Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands cost?

+

Prices start at $55 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 Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands take?

+

Plan for about 9 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 Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 72 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands?

+

Around 25 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Full Day Lake Titicaca Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands 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 Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat, Lake Titicaca Fast Boat Tour Uros and Taquile Islands with Lunch. 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.
