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.
Half Day: UROS REED FLOATING ISLANDS

“The first inhabitants on earth and black blooded “According to the Uros people legends, today a endangered ethnic group. Their past and present is a open book of a millenary culture. They have made a home amongst the reed banks at the National Reserve of Lake Titicaca. Here 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.
