Recorrido muy completo y bien organizado
Visitar estas islas es una experiencia que vale la pena. El guía no sllevó en lancha hasta las islas Uros, donde pudimos conversar con las familias locales y luego dar un paseo en los típicos barcos elaborados con juncos.
Despues continuamos el recorrido por el lago Titicaca hasta Taquile. Allí nos recibieron con música y danzas típicas en un pequeño mercado artesanal. Luego almorzamos y mientras comíamos, el guía nos contó detalles sobre la historia y la cultura del lugar.
Yo elegí hacerlo en lancha rápida, lo cual recomiendo totalmente. Se pueden dejar las pertenencias en la lancha ya ques es la misma embarcación la que acompaña todo el recorrido.
La excursión tenía recojo y devuelta al hotel, así que, en resúmen, un recorrido muy completo y bien organizado ideal para conocer la vida y tradiciones en el lago.
Very complete and well organized tour
Visiting these islands is a worthwhile experience. The guide took us by boat to the Uros islands, where we could talk with local families and then take a ride on the typical boats made of reeds.
Then we continued the tour of Lake Titicaca to Taquile. There we were welcomed with music and typical dances in a small handicraft market. Then we had lunch and while we ate, the guide told us details about the history and culture of the place.
I chose to do it by speedboat, which I highly recommend. You can leave your belongings in the boat since it is the same boat that accompanies you throughout the tour.
The excursion had pick up and drop off at the hotel, so, in short, a very complete and well organized tour, ideal to learn about life and traditions in the lake.
