PUNO UROS TOUR - AMANTANI+TAQUILE

Uros, Amantani, and Taquile are three islands on Lake Titicaca in Peru, each with unique characteristics and tourist attractions. Uros are floating islands made of totora reeds, inhabited by people who maintain their ancestral customs. Amantani, a larger island, offers natural landscapes, a vibrant culture, and the opportunity to stay in local homes. Taquile, on the other hand, is famous for its textile art, agricultural terraces, and community life.
