DAY 1: UROS ISLAND AND AMANTANI ISLAND (OVERNIGHT)
Our trip to Lake Titicaca begins with the pickup from your hotel in Puno to
go to the port of Puno where we board the boat that took us to the amazing
floating islands of the Uros.
It is said that Uros have inhabited these islands for hundreds of years,
people of the Uros know how to remove the abundant existing cane reed and
put it together in large quantities and then putting them together to form
small islands and platforms so that these ancient inhabitants despite the
weather today remain living in artificial islands of reeds, known as the
Water Tribe, they have to build their own islands regularly, adding new
layers of "Totora." Their homes and boats are made from this material.
During our visit we will visit native families, schoolhouses, souvenir shops
and can even ride in one of his little reed boats, then we will go in our
boat to the island of Amantani, located at an altitude of 3.817 meters.
Arriving at the island will taste typical local lunch, then we will go to
the famous pre-Inca temples Pachamama and Pachatata , these temples are
dedicated to the fertility of the land and ceremonial rituals are offered
there.
This island is inhabited by Quechua-speaking natives still ruled by their
ancient traditions, whose main business is the production of ceramics and
textiles. The positive energy of this island is so powerful that it is known
as the "Island of Love."
Here we have a magnificent panoramic view of the evening, after our visit we
