A very informative and beautiful experience with the First Nation People the Uros.

Pemiel_P, May 2024

The experience was very informative as they explained how the Uros live, build their floating islands, what they eat, the artifacts they make, and everything else they engage in.

Lake Titicaca - Amazing tour

Nicole_S, Apr 2024

Lake Titicaca is incredible - a unique experience in Puno. Samuel, our guide was amazing! I definitely recommend this tour.

Great tour, unique experiences!

GeorgeMarangoly, Nov 2023

This guided tour was well-organised. We appreciated the hotel pick up / drop off, and the personalised knowledgeable tour guide who took great photos for us. Lake Titicaca is truly vast and impressive! The Uros Island experience is unique and we get insights into how the islands were constructed, and to see and buy the beautiful traditional Uros handicrafts and fabrics. The trip to an adjacent island in a traditional boat was great as also the opportunity to get a ‘Lake Titicaca’ stamp in one’s passport! Highly recommend this tour!

Really interesting!

Vitor_P, Nov 2023

Really interesting tour! You get the chance to visit the Uros community and get to know their costumes. Our guide, Samuel, was very knowledgable and gave us a really deep insight to all the communities that live in Lake Titikaka.

Could be better

Cesar_L, Aug 2023

The guide was pleasant and the tour was well-organized (pick-up from hotel was on time and everything went smoothly). At Uros, however, we found that the priority of the locals was to pressure tourists to buy stuff, and everything was organized around that. While we understand that their income depends on tourism, the tour was already paid and should cover for that. This pressure is unconfortable and somewhat spoils the experience.

Interesting culture of living in a floating island

Iris_H, Nov 2022

The tour is informative to know about the history and culture of indigenous people living in the floating islands. The islands are quite small and the residents there are quite forceful to sell the souvenir.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for your review. I'm glad to hear that you found the tour informative and that it provided insights into the history and culture of the indigenous people living on the floating islands. However, I apologize if you felt that the residents were forceful in their souvenir selling. We strive to ensure that our guests have a pleasant experience, and I will make sure to address this issue with the residents to ensure a more comfortable interaction for future visitors. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Peru =)

Must do Puno tour!!!

Brandon_C, Aug 2022

Half day visit to Uros

alexiserubenstein, Feb 2022

A great day! Informative and interesting. Being out on the beautiful lake was so nice, and the people we visited were warm and welcoming.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our...

Hasib_N, May 2016

We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Samuel and the boat picked us up from the dock at our hotel Hotel Libertador. Samuel was very knowledgeable and explained to us both the history and culture of the Puno region and of the Uros people. At the first island, he demonstrated for us how the Uros people built their reed islands. I was happy that he had forewarned us the Island people would be pushy with selling their crafts and that we were under no obligation to buy anything, as this gave us the confidence to negotiate and say no to things we did not wish to purchase. He also arranged for us to take a traditional reed boat to the Uros capital where we got our passports stamped with the Lake Titikaka seal. We returned back to our hotel just in time to catch the spectacular views of the sunset.

Kleiner Einblick in lokale Kultur

Judith_S, Nov 2023

Da wir nur einen Tag Aufenthalt in Puno hatten, haben wir uns für die halbtägige Tour entschieden. Unser Guide Richard hat uns am Hotel abgeholt und auch den Transport zurück angeboten (ohne zusätzliche Kosten). Er war sehr freundlich, hat uns viel über Uros und Puno erklärt und alle Fragen beantwortet. Die Tour eignet sich gut, um einen kleinen Einblick in die Kultur und das Leben auf den Uros Islands zu erhalten. Man muss sich natürlich darüber bewusst sein, dass es eine absolut touristische Tour ist, die täglich nach diesem Schema abläuft. Wir hatten das Glück, eine private Tour zu zweit zu machen (ohne Aufpreis), da wir die einzigen waren, die die Tour am Nachmittag gebucht hatten.
