Lake Titicaca Tours and Tickets - page 3

what a lovely day this was start to finish in puno, absolutely amazing experience. I would highly recommend this tour, it is a long day, but never boring

This trip involves visiting the Uros floating island and Amantani island on the first day, staying at a local's house overnight and then visiting Taquile island on day 2. The trip itself was impeccably organised and the guides were fantastic. The local hosts, accommodation and food were also great. However, I feel that the second day paled in comparison to the first as it involved a long uphill hike followed by just a traditional song and dance performance, lunch and then climbing down 500+ steps to reach the boat. Unless you are a hiking aficionado, there is nothing much to be gained from the second day, which is mostly spent on long boat rides. The ride to Taquile island in the morning was very choppy due to winds and waves, which are apparently the norm. For the casual tourist, a one day tour comprising visits to Uros and Amantani islands is more than enough.

You only need to pack an overnight bag for the night stay in Machu Picchu. Leave the rest of luggage in hotel. Unfortunately we were not advised of this. So we lugged all our luggage to MP which was cumbersome and not necessary. We were asked to pay S/18 for each bag. And this was a stressful. Otherwise, all the guides were fantastic.
