Description

Begin with a pickup from your hotel in Puno and head to the main port to board a fully equipped boat, featuring a minibar and onboard café. Sail toward the open waters of Lake Titicaca to perform a symbolic offering and request permission from the sacred lake and Pachamama. Learn about the deep meaning behind these ancestral traditions and cultural practices from your guide. Enjoy vibrant performances from traditional folklore ensembles, an impressive display that highlights why Puno is proudly known as the Folklore Capital of Peru, all while navigating toward the famous floating islands of the Uros. Stop at the Totora Museum, located on one of the floating islands. Admire traditional art, learn about the earliest reed boat constructions on Lake Titicaca, and explore replicas of emblematic lake birds and more. Continue your voyage toward the unique floating hotels, remarkable, innovative lodgings built entirely on totora reeds and now cherished by both national and international travelers. Visit an authentic Uros floating island to observe the daily life of local families. Learn how they build and maintain their islands and, for those interested, enjoy optional activities such as traditional reed boat rides, kayaking, paddleboarding, or aquatic cycling. Back on board, enjoy a selection of beverages as you head to the final stop of your Titicaca City Tour: the Yavarí Museum Ship, the first steam vessel of the 19th century to navigate the sacred waters of Lake Titicaca. Conclude the tour with a memorable lunch served aboard one of the oldest ships ever to sail the world’s highest navigable lake, now beautifully restored and transformed into a tourist restaurant.
