Itinerary

Lake Titicaca

5 hours

Your journey across Lake Titicaca takes you through the world's highest navigable lake, sitting at over 12,500 feet above sea level. The boat ride offers sweeping views of the surrounding Andes and a chance to feel the crisp, thin air that defines this remarkable landscape. Note that travel time from Puno to Amantani is 2.5h approx and the same for returning back
Uros Floating Islands

one hour Admission included

We'll start by visiting the Uros Titino Islands, where generations of families have built their homes entirely from totora reeds harvested from the lake. Watch as local residents demonstrate how they weave and layer the reeds to create the floating foundations beneath your feet. You'll learn about the constant maintenance required to keep these islands afloat and see the traditional reed boats that have been used for fishing and transportation for centuries. Many families also share stories about their daily life on the water and may invite you to step inside their reed homes to see how they've adapted to this unique way of living.
Amantani Island

1 h 30 min Admission included

Upon arriving at the Amantani port, embark on a scenic 20-minute uphill walk to a spectacular viewpoint that offers your first glimpse of the island's natural beauty. From here, you'll begin a leisurely 1 hour coastal walk, tracing the island's perimeter while taking in breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Titicaca.

As you walk along the tranquil paths, you'll witness stunning vistas of the Bolivian snow-capped mountains across the shimmering waters. The route leads you to the main village plaza, the heart of local life, where you can observe authentic island culture in action—a peaceful community untouched by mass tourism.

This walking experience reveals Amantani's harmonious relationship with nature and the preservation of ancestral customs. It's more than just a hike; it's an immersive journey through one of Lake Titicaca's most serene and unspoiled islands, where traditional ways of life continue undisturbed and spectacular landscapes unfold at every turn.
Llachon

After exploring Amantani, we arrive at Llachon, a picturesque peninsula nestled on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Here, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch accompanied by stunning panoramic views of the lake's crystalline waters and surrounding landscapes.
