Amantani 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 Uros reed floating Islands for a guided visit on your way to Amantani Island. Your guide will provide clue information about the unique way of life, and the natural source that provides home, transportation and sustenance for the residents.
The surface of the islands is uneven, thin, and some liken walking on it to walking on a waterbed.
Locals will invite you walk inside their reed house where they will show you their embroideries, tapestries and reed souvenirs. As a complementary activity, you’ll ride a traditional reed boat provided by the families.
After 2 hour stop at Uros reed islands including an optional last stop at a commercial reed Island, you’ll find yourself navigating on the way to Amantani Island.
1:30 PM arriving at Amantani Island
Amantani Island is located almost 3 hours away from Uros. On arrival at the port, your friendly local host greets you with open arms. You’ll experience the local culture firsthand as you join a local family in their home.
After lunch in the lodge, you’ll get free afternoon for walking around or embark on a one hour hike to the lookout point and ceremonial centers of “Pachatata” or “Pachamama”. Enjoy one of the highlight of your Titicaca Trip by witnessing the mesmerizing sunset over the expansive Lake Titicaca, a sight that will etch itself in your memory.
Later, enjoy a tasty dinner and rest in the comfort of your local lodge.

After an early breakfast at Amantani house, you’ll traverse the endless blue horizon of Lake Titicaca, getting to Taquile Island from Amantani in roughly 1 hour, watching the first Island get smaller and the Taquile Island gets bigger.
The private motor boat drops you off at the North end 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.
At a local community restaurant, you’ll have local delicacies based on Quinoa soup and potatoes with grilled trout, or vegetable omelet, and hot Coca tea.
