Most tour corporations in Puno will promote you a day journey to the Uros Islands with guarantees of a novel and authentic indigenous expertise.

And once we put up a lake Titicaca map in entrance of our favourite journey guide and pointed to an island we needed to visit, she happily organized together with her cousins to host us.

This provides you with loads of time to see all the highlights, together with the floating islands of Uros, and learn about different Latin American cultures.

Nowadays locals of Aymara origin run the islands and preserve the old traditions, making their boats and even their houses from the reeds, and creating brightly coloured handicrafts.

These man-made islands consist totally of reeds and earth, but solely at high tide do the Islas de los Uros truly float.
