Our trip to Lake Titicaca begins with the pickup from your hotel in Puno
to go to the port of Puno where we board the boat that took us to the
amazing floating islands of the Uros.
It is said that Uros have inhabited these islands for hundreds of years,
people of the Uros know how to remove the abundant existing cane reed
and put it together in large quantities and then putting them together
to form small islands and platforms so that these ancient inhabitants
despite the weather today remain living in artificial islands of reeds,
known as the Water Tribe, they have to build their own islands regularly,
adding new layers of "Totora." Their homes and boats are made from this
material.
During our visit we will visit native families, schoolhouses, souvenir
shops and can even ride in one of his little reed boats, then we will go
in our boat to the island of Amantani, located at an altitude of 3.817
meters. Arriving at the island will taste typical local lunch, then we

temples are dedicated to the fertility of the land and ceremonial
rituals are offered there.
This island is inhabited by Quechua-speaking natives still ruled by
their ancient traditions, whose main business is the production of
ceramics and textiles. The positive energy of this island is so powerful
that it is known as the "Island of Love."
