About this experience
You will learn about one of the cultures considered to be the “pre-solar” culture or “survivors of a previous or primordial humanity”… The origin of the Uros dates back to pre-INCA times, where they were the oldest population of the Collao plateau and would have settled in this territory around the year 1200 BC. The island of Taquile was part of the Inca Empire, and some archaeological remains can be seen. This island was one of the last Inca sites that capitulated to the Spanish in the 16th century. Mother Earth (Pachamama), the main Andean deity, determines the abundance of the harvest and fertility, and to whom they offer a series of payments (offering) per year and three coca leaves before each activity or trip. God is present throughout the year at the festivities. There are several natural viewpoints that allow you to take spectacular photos of the island and Lake Titicaca.

Taquile Island
It is worth noting that Taquile Island was declared a masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO, thanks to the extraordinary work of its inhabitants in textile art, where they express their experience, their customs and their culture, and they also maintain their Inca customs: the principles of Ama Sua (Do not be a thief), Ama Llulla (Do not be a liar) and Ama Quella (Do not be lazy), from children to grandparents, they make these fine fabrics that resemble the textiles of the Paracas and Incas. Taquile Island was part of the Inca Empire, and some archaeological remains can be seen. This island was one of the last Inca sites that capitulated to the Spanish in the 16th century. Later it was taken in the name of Emperor Charles V and finally passed to the court of Pedro Gonzales de Taquila, from whose surname its name is derived. The Spanish banned traditional Inca clothing, for which they wear a peculiar outfit.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Full-Day Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 45 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 Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca?
+
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 Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca 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 8.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca?
+
Around 16 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Tour to Uros and Taquile on Lake Titicaca 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.
