07.30 am We pick you up from your hotel and take you to the lake’s dock. Then we take a full-day tour to Titicaca Lake, visiting the Uros floating islands and the Taquile island, where we will learn the costumes of the local people. The Uros people have lived on the man-made reed-covered floating islands known as the Uros islands since before the Inca era. There are 120 man-made islands that make up an archipelago and are located about 5 km (3 miles) from the Puno port. Taquile residents are renowned for having developed an original, locally-controlled sustainable tourism model that provides home stays, group lodging, cultural activities, local guides, and restaurants. Due to the island's remoteness, particularly during a time before motorized boats, many other local customs survived like weaving. Though the designs and hues may have changed over time, the meaning is still evident in their creations. Even UNESCO has acknowledged Taquile and its textile art as "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity". Lunch is included at a local house in Taquile with peruvian-international food. We come back to the city and take you to the hotel later in the afternoon.
