Tour Islands the Uros & Amantani & Taquile 2D/1N
Within the main lake of Titicaca, there are towns of men and women in solidarity that share their culture, and their ancestral traditions. Travelers get the feeling of having made a leap in time, to relive a piece of the great story of the children of the Sun. These natives are great navigators and masters of the fabric that preserve their wisdom in the designs and decoration of their clothing and their traditions. The island is also of great landscape value due to its location in the immensity of the lake.
This trip is very popular because you get the opportunity to interact with natives who maintain their innocence of mind and heart, due to the very simple and calm lifestyle they lead. The houses are very simple and cozy, all overlooking the Lake. The combination of culture and nature make this place very charming.
