This full-day adventure lets you explore the floating islands of Uros, the traditional Taquile Island, and the mysterious Sillustani tombs — all in one unforgettable day! Traveling by speedboat means less time on the water and more time to truly experience each destination.
The day begins with hotel pickup in Puno and transfer to the port, where you’ll board a comfortable speedboat across the dazzling waters of Lake Titicaca. The first stop is the Uros Floating Islands, an extraordinary community built entirely from totora reeds. Your bilingual guide (Spanish/English) will share the fascinating history, customs, and daily life of the Uros people, whose culture has thrived on the lake for centuries.
Next, the journey continues to Taquile Island — about an hour away by boat. After a scenic walk along stone paths, you’ll arrive at a local restaurant overlooking the lake and enjoy a traditional lunch, usually featuring fresh grilled trout or a tasty omelet. You’ll have free time to explore the island, meet local weavers, and learn how their colorful textiles tell stories about community and identity. Don’t forget your camera — the views from Taquile are absolutely breathtaking!
In the afternoon, the boat returns to Puno, where the adventure continues by land to the archaeological site of Sillustani. Here, you’ll discover the impressive pre-Inca and Inca burial towers known as chullpas, set beside the serene Umayo Lagoon. The landscape is stunning — a peaceful, almost cinematic scene that feels straight out of a movie.
After visiting Sillustani, you’ll head back to your hotel in Puno with memories of a day filled with culture, scenery, and history.
