Lake Titicaca day tour: Uros and Taquile guide
Short on time but want to see Lake Titicaca? This full-day tour from Puno takes in the famous floating Uros islands and the weaving island of Taquile — the lake’s two essentials in a single day.
Two islands in a day
You cross the lake to the reed-built Uros islands, where the people live on and from the totora reed, then continue to Taquile, known for its fine textiles and terraced hillsides, before returning to Puno.
What to know
At 3,800 m, the lake is high, so acclimatize and bring sun protection and layers. For an overnight homestay, see the 2-day tour.
