On the way to the island of Taquile, we visit the floating islands of the Uros. Taquile is a natural island privileged by nature, which is located 35 km from the city of Puno.
The inhabitants of this island are especially known for their fine textiles, which are among the finest Peruvian crafts. On the island, a spectacular view of the lake awaits the traveler and a simple stone doorway that welcomes our visitors.
In addition, the island of Taquile has beautiful landscapes and archaeological sites, however the most important wealth of the place is made up of its residents of Quechua origin who are characterized by their hospitality and charisma with visitors.
In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to visit the pre-Inca and Inca cemeteries of Sillustani with funeral towers more than 12 meters high in private service.
