    Uros Floating Islands

    Before boarding the motor boat to Uros Island, we will make a short stop at the dock where you can purchase snacks and bottled water. Once on the boat, our guide will introduce himself and the boat captain before giving you a rundown of the itinerary on Lake Titicaca. During the trip, you will see totora plants growing in the lake. When the boat docks, the island chief will demonstrate how they build the islands out of totora and share a few words in Aymara. The natives are known for their handicrafts, which you will be able to purchase. You will then have the option to sail on a totora boat (15 Soles) to the main island of Uros and get your passport stamped as a souvenir. You can walk to the top deck of the boat and take photos of the floating islands.
