This 2-day tour to Uros, Amantaní, and Taquile Islands is one of the most authentic and memorable experiences in Lake Titicaca. You’ll have the opportunity to stay overnight on Amantaní Island with a local family, participate in traditional activities, and enjoy stunning lake views from an unspoiled Andean setting.
The journey begins with a visit to the famous Uros Floating Islands, built entirely from reeds, followed by the peaceful and welcoming island of Amantaní, where you’ll witness ancient customs, dances, and highland cuisine.
