LakeTiticaca, tour- 3 days

This Tour combines the enigmatic funerary towers of Sillistani with the beautiful  islands of Amantani and Taquile at the sapphire- blue Lake Titicaca. We stay at an islander's house and have sufficient time to explore the beautiful surroundings and discover the ancient habits of the ancestors, which the locals still practice. On the way back to Puno we visit the famous floating reed islands of Uros.

General information
This tour can be done by anyone who is well acclimatized since Lake Titicaca is at an altitude of 3800m. Because of this altitude it can be freezing cold, especially at night, but during daytime when the sun is shining it can be pleasantly warm. At these altitudes and especially on the lake the UV rays of the sun are extremely strong and sun protection is strongly recommended. Food and accommodations are basic since they are provided by local families.
