What you can expect

  • Experience Lake Titicaca beyond a sightseeing tour. During this 2-day, 1-night experience, you'll discover the Uros floating islands, learn about the ancestral culture of Taquile, and spend an unforgettable night in Luquina Chico, getting an up-close look at the life of a local family.

    On the first day, you'll set off from Puno, sailing across the waters of the world's highest navigable lake. The first stop will be at the Uros floating islands, handcrafted from totora reeds. There, you'll learn how their families live, how they maintain their islands, and the traditions they have kept alive for generations.

    Then, you'll continue to Taquile Island, known for its extraordinary weaving tradition and stunning views of Lake Titicaca. You'll explore the island, learn about its customs, and enjoy a typical lunch prepared by local residents.

    In the afternoon, you will arrive in Luquina Chico, a peaceful Aymara community located on the shores of the lake, far from mass tourism. A local family will welcome you and accompany you to TITICACA LODGE – LUQUINA, where you can relax surrounded by nature and enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Titicaca. The accommodation has hot water and solar power, combining comfort with respect for the environment.

    During your stay, you can get to know the daily life of the community by taking part, depending on the season, in activities such as artisanal fishing, farming, traditional cooking, weaving, or walks through the community. At the end of the day, you'll share a home-cooked dinner made with local produce and enjoy the tranquility and the sky of the Altiplano.

    The next morning, start your day with an Andean breakfast overlooking the lake and have time to enjoy one last local experience before the drop-off back to Puno.

    More than just visiting three destinations, this experience allows you to connect with the people who live around Lake Titicaca, discover their customs from the inside, and contribute directly to local community-based tourism.

    Uros, Taquile, and Luquina in one trip: extraordinary landscapes, living culture, and an authentic night with a family on Lake Titicaca.
