Early in the morning, we will leave on an unforgettable excursion on a boat over Lake Titicaca to visit the Floating Islands of the Uros, famous for ancient pre-Inca settlers of the lake, known as the Aquatic Tribe.
The Andean natives build their own islands by periodically adding new layers of totora (Scirpus Totora) plant fiber from the papyrus family. They also use this material to build their houses and boats. We will continue our excursion to Taquile, inhabited by Quechua natives who have developed, generation by generation, an efficient and original social system as well as a magnificent weaving technique. After having lunch at a local inn in Taquile, we will walk through its hills and archaeological sites. In the afternoon we will be back to Puno and we will have the night off.
