PROGRAM
Day 1: UROS ISLAND AND LLACHON PENINSULA (PRIVATE SERVICE - OVERNIGHT)
At 8:00am, you will be picked up from your hotel, after 30 minutes of
motorboat you will arrive at the Uros Island. Fishermen and hunters inhabit
the floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the Uros use the cattail,
a type of rush, which grows in the lake, to create the conditions that
ensure the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that the plants develop
support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are extremely
humid because of the surrounding water. At present they speak Quechua and
Aymara. We will visit 3 different floating islands and we will board the
“Totora Boats”, after this tour we will continue our trip and we will arrive
to Llachon Peninsula. In Llachon, we will appreciate the Inca’s costums that
still stay, the behavior and the interrelations of the residents. We will
take lunch prepared by the residents. After, we will take a motorboat for 40
minutes bordering Llachon peninsula and we will appreciate the natural
landscape that the peninsula offer us. At night, we will take dinner and
