A four hour boat ride will take you to the Amantani Island near the Island of Taquile on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Lake surrounded by the majestic Andean mountains and the hospitality of the indian population. On the return trip to Puno you will make a stop at the 'floating' Uros Island. Here, the Uros indians live as they have done for generations, eeking out a living by fishing and selling handicrafts. You will be given a box lunch on this tour.

You will ride a boat to visit the floating islands of the Uros Indians on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Although the Uros Indians of the floating islands have intermarried with Aymara Indians and no pure-blooded Uros exist, many of the inhabitants of the islands still practice the old traditions of fishing, trapping birds and living on the lake plants. The totora reeds, which grow abundantly in the shallows of Lake Titicaca, are used for their boats, houses and to build the very islands on which they live. The result is a strange springy surface which requires care when walking - it`s easy to put your foot straight through! This strange way of life began over 500 years ago when the Uros built the islands in an effort to isolate themselves from the Collas and the Incas.

You will head 32 km. out of Puno to visit the Chullpas (pre-Columbian funeral towers) of Sillustani, beautifully set on a peninsula in Lake Umayo surrounded by stark altiplano. The Aymara-speaking Collas - a tribe that dominated the Titicaca region before the Incas, built the Chullpas. Each tower contained the remains of Colla nobility accompanied by their riches. Grave robbers have since removed their contents, although the towers are well preserved and well worth seeing. The engineering involved in their construction is more complex than anything the Incas built. Two of the towers are unfinished: one with a ramp still in place to raise blocks; the other with cut stones ready to go on a very ambitions dome.
