To begin with, Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, located in the Puno region. You will visit the home of the legendary Uros people who live on floating reed islands. Also, you will visit the famous textile community of Taquile Island.

In reality, the Puno region has “all the seasons in one day” so you should have a warm hat and close, but not obligatory.

Due to that, the region is located at an altitude of over 3800 m, we recommend arriving in Puno 1 day before. So that you start to acclimatize to the altitude. Therefore, you can feel a slight discomfort upon arrival.

First of all, you will take a motorboat to the islands of Uros, where you can observe the life of people who live on floating reed islands. Mostly these islands are only 20 meters long and wide. Local people will explain and show you how they live, and their habits.
