Uros Floating Islands Tour From Puno

Pick-up from your hotel in Puno around 9 am, from where we will go to the port in Puno and then climb aboard a motorboat. We will take a beautiful motorboat journey (30 min.) amongst the reeds, we arrive in Uros, an archipelago of more than 60 manmade floating islands inhabited by the Uros, an ethnic group of fishermen, part of an ancestral group.

Very few are known about their origins, a tradition tells that when an Inca king asked; Who are you? They answered, “We are the first inhabitants on earth and have black blood”.

In the colonial time they tried to live away from the white man contact, but in the last decades they have made a more fluid contact with the mainland culture, but still, have bird’s hunting and fishing as their main activities. stepping on these man-made reed platforms feels very much like a waterbed, however, they are quite safe to walk on. Actually, you will observe a number of reed islands one next to the other, with houses and people on them There get a Guided tour to 2 or 3 islands, explore the surroundings on an authentic reed raft (optional)

Return to Puno, arrival at 12.15 pm and transfer to your Hotel.
