What you'll see

This tour involves 1h 20min kayaking to Uros and then after, you’re going to take a shared boat Tour from Uros Islands to Amantani islands.

You’ll sleep on Amantani islanders’ family houses. As a group boat Tour, this tour is run by a different Puno Local Tour Operator, and it does not ensure a very welcoming stay in Amantani homes.
At Amantani port, the group will break into smaller groups of 4 people mainly, make friends while navigation lasts.

These small groups of 4 people will be taken by the families to their homes (lunch, accommodation, dinner, breakfast included).

Amantani is a natural Island where houses are usually located higher, and reach their house takes 30 min in average. Slow walking up and including breaks.

Lunch is provided by the families and dish is mainly based on Quinoa soup and fish of the Lake as the main course plus Andean mint or Coca tea.

In the afternoon, at 4pm, if you are in a good physical condition you could trek to Pachatata Temple.

Here contemplate the beautiful sun set, of course if it does not rain. Wonder how huge is Lake Titicaca. Nature and landscape is incredibly amazing.

Amantani has a rotating system; this will ensure every community get incomes by letting people sleep in their houses and for providing meals. Now all the agencies have to pay before leaving the Island.

Overnight at the Amantani Homestay is with basic facilities. There is no electricity; you’ll need to bring your cellphone battery fully charged. Bring extra jacket for the cold or “freezing” night.

2 Day:

we’ll say goodbye to our family hosts, leave Amantani and head to Taquile and then back to Puno.

Next day, after an early breakfast your family host is going to drive you down to same local port.

Now it’s time to say goodbye or adios. Our boat captain will navigate toward the next last natural island of Taquile for 1 hour.

Here a 40-minute long ascending path will take us to the top, where we’ll find a small square with an adobe and stone church, its modern building municipality and restaurants.

Taquile Island is one of the top destinations in Lake Titicaca, receiving hundreds of tourists per day.

Taquile is famous by their fine textiles; buy them in their museum-souvenir shop at the small square.

Prior or after lunch, your guide is explaining about Taquile and more importantly about its textiles.

The meaning of the figures and symbols on the belt calendar and the usage of a typical herb from the Island for washing the sheep or Alpaca wool are one of the topics.

Have lunch based on Taquilean Quinoa soup, grilled Trout with white rice, fried potatoes and salad or egg-vegetable omelet instead Trout and have Coca or Muña teas for drinks. Local tourist restaurant is chosen by the agency operator (usually included on the tour).
