Visit Puno and Lake Titicaca

On our Lake Titicaca tours from Puno we will take you to Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America. Visit the unique reed islands, the ruins of Sillustani, and more.

Itinerary:

Day 1: Arrival at Juliaca airport and transfer by road to your hotel in Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca.

Day 2: Morning visit to the Uros Islands. These islands are made of reeds, rising six meters above the lake level. They are anchored by logs and connected to each other by ropes. The main activities of the people who live here are fishing and handcrafting several items that they sell to visitors. Continue to Taquile Island which has two essential characteristics; its geography, offering a spectacular view from its hills, and its standing as a first-rate textile center. Taquileños live on their textile activities. This can easily be seen in the men walking about in rubber sandals (‘ojotas’ in quechua), wearing black pants, white flannel shirts and beautiful, finely woven chumpis (belts), covering their heads with finely knitted warm ‘chullos’ (caps with ear flaps).

Day 3: Breakfast at the hotel. The Arqueológical Complex of Sillustani is the most important Altiplanic pre-inca Cementery. These Tombs or Chullpas are characterized by their round and square bases, as well as the cornice on top. There are several figures and symbols on these tombs, the snake being the most representative. This symbolizes the influence of the jungle and not of the Andes. (B)
