You will be picked up from your hotel at 6:40 am after a boat ride of 2 hours, you get to the Uros Islands. Fishermen and hunters inhabit the floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the Uros use the cattail, a type of algae that grows in the lake, to create the conditions that ensure the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that the plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are extremely humid because of the surrounding water. At present, they speak Quechua and Aymara. Then visit the island of Taquile, where we will have lunch in the restaurant of the cooperative. There is also a cooperative store in the plaza that sells exceptional wool goods which are of very good quality and somewhat expensive. Taquile Island is famous for its craft production, particularly for its beautiful textiles. The island is close to 1 km. wide and 6 Km. 7 a long time. The visit could be exhausting because of the 533 steps on the stone stairs to climb to get to the village and because of the altitude (13,000 ft above sea level). On Taquile there are numerous pre-Inca and Inca ruins and Inca terracing. Return to Puno in the afternoon, overnight in Hotel or Qelqatani like. (D, A). peru tours
