    Would recommend it

    Loved the experience and would recommend it. I only wished it was specified more clear that it is 2 days, 1 night in Puno and 1 night on the bus sleeping on your way back to Cusco, so it is technically 2 days and 2 nights. Day 1: They are very punctual, which also means you are very very rushed at all stops. Not enough time for pictures. The lunch was good but the restrooms (men/women) were very very bad. The restroom on the sleeper bus going back had the urinal right in your face if a lady has to use the facility which was very unhygienic and nasty - so ladies beware. Other than that, the tour guide was really nice, the equipment (motorcoaches) were new, the hotel was clean and quaint, the tour to the Uros island was nice. You do feel a bit pressured (even if they say no pressure) to buy something because you feel bad and the family really insists you buy something to help them out. But they are all very nice, the guide to the islands, the boat, and the highlight was also Taquille island with the locals setting up a dance demonstration, use of some indiginous cacti for cleaning, the crafts and the lunch was great there. The family was so accommodating, friendly, very clean, great food, clean restrooms with soap and paper (big bonus), and the views....amazing. I would still recommend the trip as it does take you to experience other people in their environment and you are being exposed to their ways, which is awesome.

    Response from the operator: Hello, good morning, thank you very much for your comment. We continue to grow and improve more.

    Great trip well organised to lake Titicaca

    Lake Titicaca ( TitiKaka ) trip from Cusco to Puno The trip was well organised with taxi meeting me in Cusco Plaza at 6.15 a.m. this took me to the coach and I recent ticket via WhatsApp and communication throughput the trip. The coach journey with five stops was well paced and the scenery is epic and you are 2.7 miles at highest point with views of many mountains and Apus. A taxi met me at the coach stop in Puno and took me to my hotel in the main square, 3 star and perfect for a night stay. In the morning another taxi picked me up and took me to the port at Puno and we had a great guide who explained the trip. The floating islands are amazing and great to see families living on them and the boat ride to Taquile island is spectacular with views to Bolivia, lunch was delicious 😋 and we returned after a long day to port Puno and I explored Puno until 9 pm when I was picked up again by pre-arranged taxi and shown how to get my coach ticket sorted out for the night coach, the coach was very hot and bumpy, not a good night sleep. overall 5 star for the trip to Lake TitiKaKa. Thank You Kev ( EnglishMystic )

    Response from the operator: Hello, good day, thank you very much for your comment. We will improve our services further, but the situation of the roads in our country is beyond my control. The bus I traveled on is one of the best we have in Cusco. Once again, thank you very much.

    Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands: questions travelers ask

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

    How does Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands compare to similar tours in Cusco?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 68. At $269 it sits above the typical similar option ($43), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 48-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $269, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands cost?

    +

    Prices start at $269 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Cusco is not rushed.

    Is Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani 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 Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands?

    +

    Around 12 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 Cusco 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 Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani 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 Cusco 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 Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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 Cusco?

    +

    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 Cusco?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Lake Titicaca 2-Day Tour: Uros, Amantani and Taquile Islands?

    +

    Included: Return bus from Puno to Cusco; Hostel accommodation; Tourist bus one day Cusco-Puno with stops at tourist centers; Professional Guide; and Lunch buffet day 1. Not included: Tip (optional); and entrances 53 soles. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
