Overview of your Puno tour

Let's experience an incredible 3h adventure to Lake Titicaca and the Uros Floating Islands, a place steeped in history and cherished since the Incas. The Uros maintained a tradition of crafting islands that literally float on the water. Stepping onto one of these is like walking on water beds! You'll learn about the origins of these floating marvels and witness their daily routines, just as I did on my very first visit to their islands. I've been a guide for over a decade, and during this time, I've had the privilege of forming deep connections with the islanders. These remarkable individuals have allowed me a genuine glimpse into their way of life, their courage and hard work, and I can't wait to share it with you. Our adventure won't just involve visiting their floating houses; you'll personally meet the islanders. The memories we'll experience on this journey will stay with us long after our tour concludes. Let's explore them together!
