Top Puno Transportation - page 2

Our transportation service from Puno to Arequipa is always private, despite of whether you are only 1 or 2 people or a large group. We will provide a sedan, an MPV, or a Van, depending on how many people are traveling. The unit will be driven by a local English-speaking driver, who will be able to answer your questions, and provide some recommendations about what to do and what to see along the way. And we are open to picking you up wherever you need in Puno at any time.

In Peru, there exists a civilization that lives and works on islands made entirely out of woven reeds. The Uros people, who still live on floating islands on Lake Titicaca, only speak Aymara, so unless you’re fluent in the dialect, you won’t be able to unlock the secrets of their mysterious society without a guide. On this half-day tour, you'll tour to islands by boat and gain insight in Puno's preserved culture. Hotel pickup and drop-off, island admission ticket, boat, and bilingual guide provided.

Embark on a day tour of Lake Titicaca, a large mountain lake that serves as a natural border between Peru and Bolivia. Depart your Puno hotel (Puno is a 4-hour drive from Peru's second most populous city, Arequipa) for port, then set out via motorboat toward the floating Uros Islands. Visit two of these dozens of man-made islands—each constructed from native reeds found in the lake's shallow waters—and learn about their distinct inhabitants and culture as you go. Next, continue to Taquile island, home to some of Peru's best weavers.

If you’re looking for a change of pace from busy Puno city, the beautiful Uros Islands are what you need. Relax on a guided tour as you learn about the history of the man-made islands and discover the remote communities living sustainably in the region. Positioned on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, the Uros Islands shouldn’t be missed.

Explore the idyllic floating islands of Lake Titicaca on an exciting full-day tour from Puno. Visit Uros and Taquile to gain insight into the indigenous inhabitants of the unique islands; ride the gentle waters of the world’s highest lake on a boat; and enjoy an authentic experience of a culture untouched by mainland modernity. Convenient hotel pickup and drop-off is included in this tour.
