• Uros Floating Islands - Known as the “pre-solar” culture or “survivors of an ancient humanity,” the Uros have a rich history dating back to Pre-Inca times. They were the earliest inhabitants of the Collao plateau, settling in the area around 1200 BC. Today, their descendants are a blend of Uro and Aymara cultures, preserving many ancestral traditions. They reside on floating islands, each home to 4 to 7 families, with over 140 islands located within the Titicaca National Reserve. This tour offers insights into their unique lifestyle and traditions. One of their revered deities is “MAMA QOTA,” the “mother of the lake.” Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of Lake Titicaca, observing birds like the Grebe (endemic to Titicaca), White Heron, Choca, Tiquicho, and fish such as Ispi, Carachi, Mauri, or Suche (endemic species).

• Taquile Island - Taquile Island is celebrated as a UNESCO masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage, thanks to the exceptional textile art of its residents. Their textiles reflect their experiences, customs, and culture, while they uphold Inca principles: Ama Sua (Do not steal), Ama Llulla (Do not lie), and Ama Quella (Do not be lazy). From children to elders, they create exquisite fabrics reminiscent of Paracas and Inca textiles. Once part of the Inca Empire, Taquile Island features archaeological remnants and was among the last Inca sites to fall to the Spanish in the 16th century. It was later claimed for Emperor Charles V and eventually came under the jurisdiction of Pedro Gonzales de Taquila, from whom the island’s name is derived. The Spanish prohibited traditional Inca attire, leading to the islanders’ distinctive clothing style.
