| DAY 1: UROS ISLAND AND AMANTANI
ISLAND (OVERNIGHT)
Our trip to Lake Titicaca begins with the pickup from your hotel
in Puno to go to the port of Puno where we board the boat that
took us to the amazing floating islands of the Uros.
It is said that Uros have inhabited these islands for hundreds
of years, people of the Uros know how to remove the abundant existing
cane reed and put it together in large quantities and then putting
them together to form small islands and platforms so that these
ancient inhabitants despite the weather today remain living in
artificial islands of reeds, known as the Water Tribe, they have
to build their own islands regularly, adding new layers of "Totora."
Their homes and boats are made from this material.
During our visit we will visit native families, schoolhouses,
souvenir shops and can even ride in one of his little reed boats,
then we will go in our boat to the island of Amantani, located
at an altitude of 3.817 meters. Arriving at the island will taste
typical local lunch, then we will go to the famous pre-Inca temples
Pachamama and Pachatata , these temples are dedicated to the fertility
of the land and ceremonial rituals are offered there.
This island is inhabited by Quechua-speaking natives still ruled
by their ancient traditions, whose main business is the production
of ceramics and textiles. The positive energy of this island is
so powerful that it is known as the "Island of Love."
Here we have a magnificent panoramic view of the evening, after
our visit we will have accommodation at the family home, dinner
and overnight at Amantaní (Shared bathrooms, no hot water).
