FAQ's

Are the island entrance fees included?

Yes, entrance to both the Uros and Taquile is included, as is lunch on Taquile. Bring some cash in soles only for optional extras, such as a reed boat ride on the Uros or textiles on Taquile.

How much walking is there on Taquile?

Taquile is a natural island with stone paths, and the famous 550 steps lead between the village and the dock. Nothing is technical, but you are at about 3,810 m, so take it slowly, especially in your first days in Puno.

Where does the boat leave from, and what kind of boat is it?

From the main lake pier in Puno (Muelle de Puno), on a fast tourist motorboat. It is about 25 minutes to the Uros, and the full day runs from 06:45 pickup to about 17:00 back at your hotel.

What happens if the lake is closed because of the weather?

If the boats cannot go out, we reschedule the tour if your dates allow it, or refund you in full.
