PROGRAM
You will be picked up from your hotel in Puno around 6:40 AM, after 2 hours
motorboat you will arrive at the Uros island. Fishermen and hunters inhabit
the floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the Uros use the cattail,
a type of rush, 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. At present they speak Quechua and
Aymara. Then we will visit the Taquile island, including lunch in the
cooperative restaurant, there is also a cooperative shop on the plaza that
sells exceptional woollen goods which are not cheap but of very fine quality.
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 533 steps on the stone
stairway to climb to get to the village and 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.
