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. When the boat docks, the island chief will demonstrate how the islands are constructed from totora reeds and share a few words in Aymara.
