Between 7:30am to 8:00am we will pick you up at the hotel and transfer you to the main port to board a boat to the Uros floating islands.

They will welcome you with a charm smile, and also will share their traditions, history, culture and their deep knowledge of building their famous floating houses.
Afterwards you will take a boat ride to the next island, Amantani, where you will spend the night with a local family.
