Lake Titicaca and floating isles of Uros

You will find a gem in Peru that is beyond Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu!  A side trip to Puno and Lake Titicaca is well worth the bus or airfare.  This destination in the southern area of Peru became popular when the National Geographic Magazine featured the Uros people and culture;  the group is known for living on floating islands made of reeds.

You may visit Puno and spend a day touring Lake Titicaca by boat, where you will visit the Uros floating isles, as well as the island of Taquile, another amazing cultural group of people.  To enhance your experience, you can stay over night at a family lodge on one of the islands.  A bi-lingual guide will be with you for the trip.

Allow three days to visit this area.  You will also want to experience the Puno city life and tour the Sillustani burial ruins while there!
