With entry fees included, explore the Uros islands and Taquile in one day, and experience a way of life very different to the mainland.

Uros/Taquile boat tour - mass tourism

Catherine_D, Nov 2024
This is the standard tourist boat trip with 30 or so other people to visit a floating island and then go to Taquile. It's very touristy. The guide flips from Spanish to English. The microphone on our boat wasn't working properly so every third syllable was lost. The Uros part felt part performance/part zoo - but I guess it's the one way for the traditions to survive. I wish i had booked it through my hotel, since I am sure the experience would have been exactly the same but it would have been half the price. Don't feel the need to secure your seat with Viator. There are dozens of boats doing this trip every day.
