Lake Titicaca Full Day Tour - Uros Islands and Taquile Island

The Fourth day of my trip to South America. Full day tour of Lake Titicaca visiting Uros Islands and Taquile Island.

Our boat holds about 30 people and we set off, the first stop is the Uros Islands, which are artificial islands made out of reeds. There are about 50 different islands at Uros each with their own family; The island I stop at is called Manco Capac. We are greeted by the residents and then told about the islands, how they are made, how they cook, etc.

We then take a native reed canoe across the lake to another island.

After that we get back on our original boat and head over to Taquile Island which takes about two and a half hours, I spend most of that time on the roof of the boat as I don't like being cooped up inside.

When we arrive at the island we walk up to the main area, this is quite hard going with the altitude, at the to that is where the main village is, we stop for lunch in a restaurant called "My House" I have soup followed by Trout and rice.

After lunch we continue to explorer the village and head over to the other side to the principal port where we join our boat, luckily it is all down hill.

We get back on the boat and it takes about three hours to get back to Puno, I spend most of the time listening to my ipod on the roof.

As we are getting into Puno the sun starts to set and it quickly becomes dark.
