Classic Tours We at Edgar Adventures do various tours to the islands of Lake Titicaca. Please find details of our most popular Classic tours; the 2day/1 night tour of the Uros, Amantani and Taquile, and the 1day tour of Uros and Taquile. I've also added a brief description of the tour we offer to the Sillustani ruins. Although not a lake trip, it may be of interest to you.Reservations are easy enough to do. We accept bookings via e-mails, and payment would be on arrival (we pre-book any service you require and you simply reimburse us here at our offices in Puno). No deposit is required. (Basically, you send us a mail here confirming which tour you'd like to take, pay the money when you get here, and it's done!)
Anyway, please find below outlines of the tours and other suggestions for logistics that may help you plan your stay at the lake. Any questions you may have (or if you'd just like to book!), please do not hesitate to contact us here.
Full Day: TAQUILE ISLAND + UROS
TRIP CODE: SIC.TAQFD
If you have only one day to know Lake Titicaca, this is your option. This trip takes you to an encounter with the lake culture & landscapes.
The Uros Floating Islands.- On the hearth of the National Reserve Of lake Titicaca , an extence area of reed banks , where you will observe artificial reed platforms inhabited by this ancient ethnic group. It is surely one of the most original ways of life on earth. Some people think them artificial and acting for tourists. But in fact they are authentic, their culture is authentic, and the history of why they live amongst the reeds is fascinating.
Taquile Island, A place where the time has stopped. There you will see an indigenous community that conserves original Inca social traditions and organizations. The isolation has kept them almost untouched by the modern world. This enchanting Island with long shape is full of Inca terraces and some pre-Inca remains on its top.
