Tour Overview
Day 1: Puno - Uros Islands
Your journey will begin with a pickup from your hotel in Puno at the arranged time, followed by transportation to the port where a traditional vessel awaits. Prepare for a captivating one-hour exploration on Lake Titicaca, where stunning views are sure to captivate you!
