DESCRIPTION:

This Great Trip Titikaka lasts 3 hours approx. The floating islands of the Urus are located within the bay of Lake Titicaca just 12 kilometers from the city of Puno. The boat trip only takes about 27 minutes to reach the nearest islands.

"URUS" was the name of a very particular ethnic group that coexisted on Lake Titicaca with civilizations prior to the Aymara nations and the Incas. In fact, it is believed that UROS could have been the first ethnic group that populated the high Andean region around Lake Titicaca. The Uros were always a simple town of fishermen and hunters who preferred to remain isolated from the most advanced civilizations of the mainland.
