Discovering the culture of Lake Titicaca with Exploor Trip. - We took the full-day excursion to the Uros and Taquile Islands with Exploor Trip, and it was a wonderful experience that my family and I will always remember. From the beginning, everything was very well organized: the transportation was comfortable and punctual, and the guide demonstrated great professionalism, knowledge, and kindness, explaining the history and culture of each island in detail. We felt very well taken care of, and the atmosphere was relaxed and safe for everyone, including the children and older members of the group. Lunch was delicious and enjoyed in a spectacular setting overlooking Lake Titicaca. Furthermore, the excursion is clearly designed to be accessible and comfortable for all types of families and travelers, which meant everyone could fully enjoy this unique and enriching day together.

🚤 Uros and Taquile Islands in a Day - Living Culture on Lake Titicaca 🌊 - This full day excursion from Puno is the ideal way to explore the mystical Lake Titicaca and get up close and personal with its ancestral people. The tour starts early with boat navigation to the famous Uros Islands, made entirely of totora reeds. There, the inhabitants themselves welcome you with warmth, explain their way of life and show you how they build their floating islands, a tradition that is still alive since pre-Inca times.
Then, the tour continues to Taquile Island, where the panoramic views of the lake and the tranquility of the surroundings leave you speechless. On this island, the locals welcome you with dances, colorful weavings and a culture that has been recognized by UNESCO. Traditional lunch with fresh local products (such as trout) is served in front of the lake, creating a perfect moment to relax and connect with nature. 🐟🍽️
The experience is even more enriching thanks to the treatment of the staff and guides, who speak English and Spanish and passionately explain every detail of the tour. Everything is well organized, with balanced times to learn, enjoy and relax. If you are in Puno, this excursion is an unmissable way to get to know the cultural heart of Titicaca in just one day. 🌞

An unforgettable experience on Lake Titicaca with South America Exploration. - An unforgettable experience on Lake Titicaca with South America Exploor.
The full-day excursion to the Uros and Taquile Islands from Puno exceeded our expectations. We began the day sailing across the beautiful Lake Titicaca and explored the floating islands of the Uros people, where we learned about their fascinating lifestyle, traditions, and the incredible way they build their totora reed homes. We then headed to Taquile Island, with stunning scenery and a welcoming community. Lunch was delicious, featuring fresh local produce and spectacular views. Everything was perfectly organized, and the guide was exceptional, providing us with detailed information and a deep respect for the local culture.
