Why do we recommend the Uros and Taquile tour by speedboat? The main reason is that we shorten the navigation time on the lake, having more time to enjoy the visits in Uros and Taquile, in addition to having calmer walks and being more comfortable because the boat is also more spacious and comfortable. The places that are visited are the same as those of the Tour of Uros and Taquile normal boat: 2 islands in the Uros (of the more than 90 islands that make up these floating islands) Taquile Island, where we will visit its main square to have lunch and appreciate its customs, beautiful views of the lake and its textiles. As we mentioned before, the difference is basically the navigation time that each boat makes, as we show below.

Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat

Very good tour. Pick up...

Very good tour. Pick up at hotel. Our guide was knowledgeable. Bear in mind that the boat tour by the locals is more or less mandatory but we'll worth it

Andrew_S, Apr 2026

Great trip

Our tour guide Carlos was excellent. The communication from the company was also excellent via WhatsApp. The tour itself was very well organized from start to finish. Our hotel was out of the pickup zone but for $8 they arranged a taxi for us , we had exceptional weather which obviously always helps the tour wasn’t rushed at all. Someone mentioned about being hassled to buy from local we didn’t experience any of that. A fabulous day on Lake Titicaca.

Unexpectedly Amazing

Our guide, Richard, shared his in-depth knowledge of the local area, and introduced us to a wonderful family on an Uros Island, who demonstrated how they lived. Afterward we enjoyed a delicious trout meal for lunch with a lake view.

Well spaced out tour, lot of time to enjoy and experience each location. Our guide, Victor was knowledgeable and informative. Lunch experience was amazing; both the location and the food. Tour lasted around 8 hours.

A beautiful exploration of the Lake and its cultures

The guide’s English and Spanish was excellent, he was knowledgeable; the trip was well organised and while at points there was some slightly contrived touristy moments - overall - this felt like an amazing exploration of local cultures, in a way that aided rather than harmed their communities; also, the views of the Lake on the - incredibly safe, clean and pleasant - boat were breathtaking. You should book.

Great Day Out

Overall it was a great day out. We were met in the lobby of our hotel (the lady didn't even say hello to us, just called our name and hustled us out), then she put us on a minibus with our guide. We carefully stuck together to go on the boat - 2 sets of 16 people by my count, with 2 guides one of whom said nothing so it was really a tour of 32. We spent time on the reed island, took the optional boat (small extra fee), then went off the Taquile. Here there was a good length walk, but though the instructions said hiking boots it was not necessary. Yes, it is uphill, but the path is good and no special grip was needed. The lunch (with a great view) was very good. We then went down the slope to get the boat back. Our guide looked after us well. Some of his speeches (first in Spanish then English) seemed to go a long time (especially in Spanish) and I do recommend he speak slower in English - even if the information is therefore less, at least it will get communicated. The English-as-a-second-language Europeans got really lost, and there were times I could not catch the words. This is a general problem we have found with Spanish-speaking guides.

Extremely touristy/mass...

Extremely touristy/mass operation. It is pretty much the only way to see Uros and Taquile, so you have to suck it up. There is heavy sell during the trip to purchase their goods--which I did because they are very nice. I recommend this trip as it's the only way, but I don't think it's an authentic experience.
