PROGRAM
You will be picked up from your accommodation at 6:30 a.m., to go to the
port of Puno to take a tourist motor boat and to direct towards the wonders
floating islands of the Uros. After a 1 hour motorboat ride, you will arrive
at the Uros island in the Titikaka lake. Fishermen and hunters inhabit the
floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the Uros are known as the
“water tribe”, because they must construct its own Islands periodically,
adding new layers of totora reeds, which grows in the lake, to create the
conditions that ensure the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that the
plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses
are extremely humid because of the surrounding water.
They used it as home and trade centers for the natives, who use hand-made
boats of the same material as their means of transportation. At present,
they speak Quechua and Aymara. Following this exciting tour, you will be led
to the Island of Taquile, place where the form of typical and rustic
experience was appraised, the place is colorful and landscaping, where they
even maintain its customs, ritual, religious and folkloric traditions, in
the town of Taquile we will taste a typical lunch with fresh fish (trout).
There is also a craft fair on the plaza that sells exceptional wool goods
which are of very fine quality and somewhat expensive. Taquile Island is
famous for its craft production, particularly for its beautiful textiles.
The island is narrow at about 1 Km. wide and 6 to 7 Km. long. The visit
could be exhausting because of the altitude (13,000 ft above sea level). On
Taquile there are numerous pre-Inca and Inca ruins as well as Inca terracing.
We will return in Puno in the afternoon (L)
