Taquile 2 Day Tour begins with pickup at your hotel in downtown Puno, a quick private transfer to the port of Puno where a motor boat waits for you. It’s a regular slow motor boat that has three parts: the inside, outside back and outside upper deck; there is also a basic bathroom on board.
The boat stops off at Luquina community, on the lake shore of Chucuito peninsula for a short walking and tasty locally prepared lunch, on your way to Taquile Island. Why? Because all group tours visit Uros islands at its busiest time instead you’ll depart late and skip it.
After lunch in Luquina home, your journey continues on to Taquile Island. The boat drops you off at the local port of the elongated Taquile Island, where a steady walk along a well-paved path provides time to admire the scenery.
You’ll see and encounter an ancient indigenous community dating back before the Incas that has learnt how to conserve its original, genuine traditions and Andean political organization throughout the time.
By the late afternoon take your time for walking around or embark on a one hour hike to the lookout point and ceremonial center of “Mulsina”, enjoy the mesmerizing sunset over the expansive Lake Titicaca, a sight that will etch itself in your memory.
