Tour Details
Uros Tour to the Floating Islands

Half Day Uros tour is designed by our local experts to offer you an introduction to Uru culture on the iconic Uros floating islands on the world’s highest navigable lake – Lake Titicaca. The half day trip is ideal for those with less time in Puno Peru, en-route to or from La Paz, Bolivia

The floating islands of the Uros is home to Uru people. They are believed to be the descendants of the earliest inhabitants of Lake Titicaca. They have preserved their traditions of living on an island made entirely of totora reeds which grows in the lake. 

If they felt threatened by invaders, they used to simply cut off the reed islands and float elsewhere. However the Incas and Spanish discovered them. 

Uros Island Tours is one of the most opted half day tours. The island is easily accessible from Puno and offers an insight to the life of the native Aymara tribe. We offer both group and private tour.

Inquisitive to know more about the culture and traditions of the Aymaras? Check out our full day tour to Uros and Taquile Island. On our two days tour you will visit all the three prime islands – Uros, Amantani and Taquile and will be doing homestay in Amantani Island.

What an amazing place and incredible group of people.. living their lives in the reeds which are so hard to walk on and so vulnerable. They seem very happy and contented and hope they didn’t mind our intrusion into their lives too much
