On Day 2, you will be picked up from your hotel in Puno at 6:45 a.m. to embark on a full day boat tour of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. The first visit of the day is to the Uros Floating Islands, unique artificial islands built from layers of totora reeds and inhabited by the ancestral Uros people, who preserve traditions that date back centuries. After learning about their culture and way of life, the boat continues toward Taquile Island, famous for its experiential tourism and for its textile art recognized by UNESCO. Visitors can walk along the island’s scenic paths, interact with the local community, and learn about their customs, rituals, and belief in protective mountain spirits, or Apus. Lunch is available on the island, where trout from the lake is the most recommended dish (lunch is not included).

The boat returns to Puno at approximately 5:00 p.m., where you may relax at your hotel or explore the city on your own. Later that evening, at 9:15 p.m., you will be picked up from your hotel for the overnight bus back to Cusco. Arrival in Cusco is around 5:00 a.m. the next day, where the tour ends at the Cusco terminal. Throughout the experience, you will navigate Lake Titicaca, which stretches across the border between Peru and Bolivia. The lake is one of the largest in South America and is considered the mythical birthplace of the Inca civilization. Its calm waters are known for their bright reflections, and the surrounding Titicaca National Reserve shelters rare aquatic species such as the giant Titicaca frog.
