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.
Once you finish presenting the floating islands, then you will start a journey to the natural island. After a wonderful 2-hour boat ride, you will reach Taquile Island where you will take a tour of the historical ruins and visit its inhabitants. They are world-famous for their textile craftsmanship because here only men are doing this job. By the way, all products are handmade with natural wool and have very high quality.
To conclude we are sure that you will enjoy this journey on Lake Titikaka.
