A highly recommended experience! It is really interesting to see how the Uros live on the floating islands. My personal highlight, however, was Taquile Island with a delicious lunch and interesting insights into the culture of this island. Our guide Fausto was very thoughtful, friendly and explained things very well. Next time I would like to stay overnight on Taquile Island.

The guide Abel was very knowledgeable about the history of the places and answered all our questions, always very attentive and cheerful. The roads along the way are very poor but the driver did a great job. Without a doubt, an incredible experience.

Fredy is an excellent guide who gets to the heart of the important facts for understanding the country, its people and its culture. Perfect.

I enjoyed it. Uros was so so, but Taquile island great place, with respect peoples. And delicious grilled fish. Nice view.

Very nice trip and good value for money. Alejandra and Fredy were very nice guides. The lunch was ready great too.
