Let’s walk on this journey

¿Why do we recommend the Uros and Taquile tour by speedboat?

The main reason is that we shorten the navigation time on the lake, having more time to enjoy the visits in Uros and Taquile, in addition to having calmer walks and being more comfortable because the boat is also larger and more comfortable.

The places that are visited are the same as those of the Tour of Uros and Taquile normal boat:

2 islands in the Uros (of the more than 90 islands that make up these floating islands).
Taquile Island, where we will have a presentation of their dances, textiles, crafts and other customs by the residents of Taquile; We will enjoy a typical lunch in Taquile (Starter: Quinoa soup; Background: Fried trout with a side of rice, potatoes and salad; Hot infusions).

Important: If there are vegetarian or other options, please let us know.

As we mentioned before, the difference is basically the navigation time that each boat does, as we show below.
