Real experiences from real travelers
The Uros islands are a marvel of human ingenuity. Our guide explained the reed construction perfectly. Taquile was a bit of a hike but the views were worth every step!
The lake is beautiful, but don't underestimate the wind. Bring a heavy jacket. The lunch on Taquile was the best trout I've ever had.
Staying on Amantani was the highlight of my Peru trip. The family was so welcoming and the stars at night were incredible. Booking was seamless.
Booked the full day tour to Uros and Taquile. For $52, including lunch and pickup, it was fantastic value. Very well organized.
The views are 5-star, but the altitude is real. Take it slow on the Taquile hills. The boat was comfortable and the guide was very knowledgeable.
The floating islands look like something out of a movie. Learning about the pre-Inca history was fascinating. Everything went smoothly with the booking.
The half-day Uros tour was perfect as I was short on time. Efficient, educational, and breathtakingly beautiful. Highly recommend.
Seeing the men on Taquile knitting was so unique. The quality of the textiles is world-class. A very respectful and well-managed tour.
