After sailing west for 30 minutes, we will soon arrive at the floating islands of the Uros at 3820 m.a.s.l/12,532 ft. The floating islands are home to the Aymara cultures that have inhabited them for hundreds of years.

You will have a nice time on each of these islands and get ready to board the boat to Taquile.

FAQS
What is the Lake Titicaca Day Tour?
During this tour, you will have the chance to take a boat to Uros and Taquile islands in one day. By participating in this trip, you will enjoy the opportunity to learn about their cultural heritage and sail on Lake Titicaca. As compared to the traditions of Cusco, these experiences are completely different.
Where does the Lake Titicaca Day Tour take place?
This Lake Titicaca Day Tour takes place on the picturesque Uros and Taquile islands which are located in the middle of Lake Titicaca.
Uros islands are a group of islands that were created long ago by the Uros, the Aymara people who have resided there for hundreds of years. In contrast to Taquile Island, which is a natural island, this island is so big that it is home to a town with a large number of families living on it.
At what altitude does the Lake Titicaca Day Tour take place?
Since Titicaca is located at a height of 3,810 meters above sea level, you should be able to locate most of the attractions there, more or less, at an altitude of no more than 100 m.
What is the best season to do the Lake Titicaca Day Tour?
The best time to do it is during the dry season, or when rainfall is scarce. These months are between April and September.
When it rains it is difficult to enjoy activities. It is difficult to admire the scenery because you are more concerned about protecting yourself from the rain. In addition, exploring Taquile Island must be difficult under the rain.
Is there a minimum age requirement for the Lake Titicaca Day Tour?
The minimum age is 8 years old due to the altitude and the space in which the tour takes place. Waman Adventures guarantees passenger safety. You should contact our sales agents as soon as possible if you plan to travel with a child or minor with you. So, that we can assist you in making sure that you don’t miss out on this magnificent experience.
How far in advance should I book the Tour Uros Taquile Full Day by speed boat?
It is recommended to book this tour at least 42 hours prior to the tour start time. As you can see, this is enough time to reserve any and all services that you might need on such a memorable day.
Should I get travel insurance for the Lake Titicaca Day Tour?
It is not mandatory to have travel insurance in Peru, however, we recommend that you take out one, even though it is not mandatory. The benefit of this is that, while doing this tour or any other tour, you will have complete peace of mind.
Is it recommended to bring cash for the Lake Titicaca Day Tour? How much cash is recommended to the Uros and Taquile Islands?
Yes, it is recommended to bring cash between 150 – 200 Peruvian soles for the Lake Titicaca Day Tour. This is useful to cover last-minute expenses, such as souvenirs, snacks, water, and other unexpected purchases during the tour.
Is it possible to take photographs or videos with drones during the Tour Uros Taquile Full Day?
Fortunately, the use of drones in these areas within Titicaca Lake is permitted. You can fly a drone over the islands of Uros and Taquile, or while sailing on Lake Titicaca.
I would like to emphasize that it is extremely important for you to treat the drone in a respectful manner in order to respect the cultures, traditions, and privacy of the people of these islands.
