Floating Uros Islands of Lake Titicaca

3,810m above sea level, and yet just as sea-like, Lake Titicaca is an apparently normal place. The view of the snow-capped peaks across the lake in Bolivia seem strange as those mountains appear so small, until you remember that you’re already 12,000 feet up! The Uros islands are a bizarre blend of reeds and rope, unfortunately a little contrived but charming nevertheless.
Onto Amantani and a (chilly) night with Portanata, our friendly Quechuan ‘mummy’ who runs everywhere and boy can she dance the night away! Then an early start to Taquille for the world’s earliest lunch before a leisurely sail back to Puno and the comforts of a hot shower and a duvet.
