Review of the Uros and Taquile Islands tour from Puno, with speedboat comfort, island culture, lunch, costs, hiking, and practical tips.
“I booked what was advertised as a private tour (over $100), but to this day I’m still trying to understand what exactly I paid extra for. Throughout the entire experience, I was with a large group — no private sightseeing, transport, or additional attractions. Had I known this, I would have never chosen the private option. Besides the double price and a bottle of water included with lunch, there were no additional perks. The visit to the Uros Islands was quite depressing and underwhelming — stopping at a single small community with two houses felt more like a staged presentation than a meaningful experience. As for Taquile Island, there was…”

Review of a two-day Lake Titicaca tour from Puno, with Uros, Amantani homestay, Taquile textiles, boat rides, and practical tips.
“Beautiful tour with a good guide (Carlos?). Definitely worth spending the night on the lake so you get to see more. We climbed to the top of Amantani for sunset at Pachamama temple and I did it again for sunrise to see the other Pachatata temple. The only thing that differed from expectations is that I had to share a room and we were told we'd have private bedrooms. Be warned you may not have running water/shower/flushing toilet at the homestead. Lunch on the second day should be included in this tour for the price.”

“This guided tour was well-organised. We appreciated the hotel pick up / drop off, and the personalised knowledgeable tour guide who took great photos for us. Lake Titicaca is truly vast and impressive! The Uros Island experience is unique and we get insights into how the islands were constructed, and to see and buy the beautiful traditional Uros handicrafts and fabrics. The trip to an adjacent island in a traditional boat was great as also the opportunity to get a ‘Lake Titicaca’ stamp in one’s passport! Highly recommend this tour!”
