DAY 1: UROS ISLAND AND LLACHON PENINSULA (OVERNIGHT)
You will be picked up from your accommodation at 8:00 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, after this tour
we will continue our trip and we will arrive to Llachon Peninsula. In
Llachon, we will appreciate the Inca’s customs that still stay, the behavior
and the interrelations of the residents. We will take a motorboat for 40
minutes bordering Llachon peninsula and we will appreciate the natural
landscape that the peninsula offer us. We will take lunch prepared by the
