Once on board, our guide will introduce himself and the boat captain before giving you an overview of the itinerary on Lake Titicaca. Our first stop will be the floating islands of Uros. During the journey, you will see totora reeds growing in the lake.

   On Lake Titicaca lies Taquile Island, where local villagers have created a thriving industry of woven handicrafts, primarily crafted by the men of the community. Taquile is home to a Quechua population of 2,000 people, who are mainly farmers, fishermen, and renowned weavers. Contrary to the traditional view of weaving as women's domain, on Taquile, it is the men who perform much of the delicate work with the thread. We will also be invited to watch and dance with the local villagers, performing their traditional dances. Afterward, we will continue our walk to a local restaurant for lunch. After lunch, around 2:30 PM, you will board the boat back to Puno.
