ITINERARY

We will board a boat for approximately 30 minutes until we reach the floating islands of the Uros, we will begin touring the community where we can observe their people, their customs and lifestyle. Presumably, this place has been inhabited for hundreds of years and they came here protecting themselves from the Collas and Incas tribes, who threatened this community frequently. During this visit, we will appreciate a particular world, where the ingenuity of Men of Water is noted with the constructions of the islands, their cabins and boats based on a water plant, we can also visit schools, native families and craft shops.
