Puno & Lake Titicaca

LTPP006 Puno & Lake Titicaca
3 days, any day, private and semi - private services
Day 1 Puno. Arrival at Juliaca airport and transfer by road to your hotel in Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Day 2 Puno. Morning visit to the Uros Islands. These islands are made of reeds, rising six meters above the lake level. They are anchored by logs and connected to each other by ropes. The main activities of the people who live here are fishing and handcrafting several items that they sell to visitors. Continue to Taquile Island which has two essential characteristics; its geography, offering a spectacular view from its hills, and its standing as a first-rate textile center. Taquileños live on their textile activities. This can easily be seen in the men walking about in rubber sandals ("ojotas" in quechua), wearing black pants, white flannel shirts and beautiful, finely woven chumpis (belts), covering their heads with finely knitted warm "chullos" (caps with ear flaps). Box lunch included. Day 3 Puno. Breakfast at the hotel. Transfer to the airport and on the way visit the Sillustani tombs. These Tombs or Chullpas are characterized by their round and square bases, as well as the cornice on top. There are several figures and symbols on these tombs, the snake being the most representative. This symbolises the influence of the jungle and not of the Andes.
