  4. D4: Puno - Floating Islands - Taquile Island - Puno

    You will be picked up from Puno's lake port and transferred to the floating islands of the Uros. Uros are an ancestral society that inhabits a series of artificial islands built with totora, a reef that grows in the lake. The islands are built by weaving totoras in the places where they are thicker and form a natural layer. They build their totora houses over it and cook in the open air to prevent possible fires. After a one-hour tour, you will continue your trip to the Taquile Island. Unlike other islands, inhabited by Aymara-speaking people in the lake, its residents speak Quechua. It was part of the Inca Empire and vestiges of said culture can be noted in their buildings. Nevertheless, when the Spaniards arrived, they forced its residents to get rid of their typical clothes and forced them to wear traditional farmers' clothes. They will give you a brief presentation about the island and you can tour it until lunch time. You will walk to the main pier and will return to Puno's port after lunch.
