At the end of the visit in the Uros, we will return to the boat to go to the island of Taquile, during the trip you can try different poses for your photos and without realizing it we will have arrived in Taquile! We will go up to the island square and there we will know the textile industry that is considered Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO. At approximately 1 in the afternoon we will satiate our hungry stomach with great delicacy. You will have a delicious quinoa soup for lunch and as a main course you will have directly from the lake your “fried trout” dish accompanied by french fries and rice, if you are a vegetarian then you can order “Omelett” that also comes with french fries and rice.

Uros and Taquile Islands
Our tour guide Freddy was really nice and the whole trip was a good experience. The pick up from the hotel and other parts of a trip was right on time.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your incredible experience in the sacred lake of the Inkas, it has been to a pleasure
via Tripadvisor
very pleasant tour
Great tour, we went to the floating islands of Uros and then Taquile island. Their boat is very fast and lunch on Taquile Island was excellent. The guide Freddy was very attentive and told us a lot about the traditions of the island communities and also about preserving the culture of the local environment. We paid on January 24, 120 soles per person (lunch included)
Response from the operator: Foi um grande prazer tornar maravilhosamente sobre sua visita ao Lago Titicaca, muito obrigado por nos visitar

Great trip
Good tour, fair price. Didn't feel too touristy. Mostly Peruvians on our boat. Great guide (I think his name was Victor). Tanquile Island was really nice. Would do it again.
Response from the operator: We are pleased to know that you enjoyed our services and the beautiful nature, we hope to see you soon.

Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat?
+
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 Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Uros Island and Taquile by Speed Boat 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.
