A world away
Exactly as described. Our tour guide Ronald did a wonderful job showing us around. He was attentive and his talks were informative. We also had a lovely host family and we had a wonderful time with them. Miluska from the back office also did an amazing job coordinating our last minute logistics change. Last but not the least, we are happy to hear that the tourism dollars are making some impact to the Uros, Amatani and Tequile communities.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Lang, for sharing such a lovely review! 😊 We’re truly happy to know you enjoyed your 2-day Lake Titicaca experience. Ronald will be delighted to hear your kind words, and we’re glad you had such a wonderful time with your host family. It was also a pleasure helping you with the last-minute logistics and making sure everything went smoothly, including your luggage arrangements. We’re especially grateful that you appreciated the positive impact tourism can have on the local communities of Uros, Amantani, and Taquile.

An unforgettable experience
It was an unforgettable experience. We took a 2-day, 1-night tour and visited the islands of Uros, Amantaní, and Taquile. Everything was well organized, and the guide was very friendly and attentive. What I liked most was meeting a family on Amantaní and sharing in their customs and meals. We also really enjoyed the scenery and the cultural activities. Overall, I was satisfied with the service; it met my expectations. I recommend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Dear Nildas, we’re very happy to know that your two-day journey through Lake Titicaca was such a memorable one. It’s wonderful to hear that you especially enjoyed meeting a local family in Amantaní, sharing their traditions and meals, and taking part in the cultural activities. These personal connections are such a special part of the experience, and we’re glad they became one of your favorite memories. Thank you for trusting Planet Odysseys and for recommending us. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re so glad the experience met your expectations!

Lake Tour
The guide showed great respect and knowledge as he shared local traditions, and spending the night in Amantaní turned out to be an incredibly warm, authentic, and enriching experience. I recommend this tour one hundred percent to anyone looking to truly connect with the magic of the lake.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Aydee, for sharing this with us! It makes us very happy to know that you enjoyed your time on Lake Titicaca and that your stay in Amantaní was such a special part of the experience. For us, being able to share a little of the local way of life and traditions is what makes this journey so meaningful. We’re really glad you got to experience it. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you again in Peru someday!

Well worth visiting- unique experience
Really great tour — loved the reed houses and staying in homestead. Great food and friendly hosts Amazing scenery and enjoyable company Only downside was that the tour was supposed to be in both Spanish and English but the guide spoke 90% of the time in Spanish which meant that for a third of those on the tour who could only speak English they were not well informed Also the guide did not accompany the group on the walk up the mountain as we noticed all the other group’s guides did
Response from the operator: Dear Peter, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are pleased that you enjoyed the reed houses, homestay, food, scenery and the warm hospitality of the local hosts. We are, however, very sorry that the bilingual guiding did not meet the standard advertised. All guests should receive clear and complete information in their chosen language. We are also concerned that the guide did not accompany your group during the mountain walk, as guest support and safety are extremely important to us. We have raised both matters with our operations team and requested a full investigation and corrective action to prevent this from happening again. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve the experience we provide, and we hope to have the opportunity to offer you a fully satisfactory tour in the future. Kind regards, Ram. Founder and CEO

Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile 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 Puno is not rushed.
Is Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 198 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile?
+
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 Homestay and Taquile 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 Homestay and Taquile?
+
Around 69 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile 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.
What is included in Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile?
+
Included: Transport; Bi-lingual local guide; All entrance fees; 1 night's accommodation on Amantani island; and Lunch. Not included: Lunch on second day (could be purchased for 30 Soles); Gratuities; and Hotel pick-up or drop-off outside the center of Puno (25 soles per way). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 55 listed pickup locations in and around Puno. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Lake Titicaca 2 Day Tour Uros Amantani Homestay and Taquile if the weather is bad?
+
