Puno: Gateway to Lake Titicaca & the Floating Uros Islands
High-altitude waters, floating villages, and island traditions define this journey through Peru’s southeastern highlands. Puno serves as the gateway to Lake Titicaca, where the reed-built islands of the Uros and the quiet hillside communities of Taquile offer a rare window into a way of life shaped entirely by the lake.
Itinerary Highlights
Perched on the shores of Lake Titicaca, this highland city serves as the starting point for exploring the world’s highest navigable lake and the traditions that surround it.
The world’s highest navigable lake stretches across the Altiplano, its floating reed islands and lakeside communities shaped entirely by the rhythms of the water. Â
Terraced hillsides and quiet stone paths lead to a close-knit island community, renowned for hand-woven textiles and a way of life largely untouched by time.Â

Cost Per Person
US$ 650 onwards
Set high in Peru’s southeastern highlands, this journey centres on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake on earth and a place where tradition still shapes daily life. Puno, the lakeside gateway city, opens the door to waters dotted with man-made reed islands, where Uros families have lived atop floating platforms for generations, building their homes, boats, and livelihoods entirely from the totora reed.Â
Further across the lake, Taquile Island offers a different rhythm altogether. Its terraced hillsides and stone pathways lead to a community renowned for hand-woven textiles so distinctive that UNESCO has recognised the craft as a testament to human heritage. Away from roads and modern distraction, life here moves at the pace it always has — shaped by wool, water, and the wide open horizon of the Altiplano.
