Explore the Uros floating islands and the Island of Taquile on this full-day trip; one of most popular excursions. The floating islands of the Uros Titino communities of Lake Titicaca are neither land, sky, or water, but rather at the intersection of the three. Totora or junco reed roots, serve as unique building material. The Islands of Lake Titicaca excursion brings guests close to the islands’ Uro-Aymara communities. Providing a unique opportunity to grow personally acquainted with the men – skilled reed raftsmen– and women – expert weavers famous for their craft–, guests will get to know first hand the remarkable heritage and the ancestral techniques used to keep their islands afloat.

In Taquile, for example, guests will experience the Quechua imagination in the textile weaving’s unique to the area and recently included in UNESCO’s Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Enjoy lunch outdoors as you treat yourself to the grandeur of Puno’s deep blue skies mirrored across Lake Titicaca with views of Bolivia’s Cordillera Real in the background.

The Aymara Route excursion discovers the geography, neighbouring communities, nature, and privileged views of the Chucuito peninsula and Acora. Dive into pre-Incan times, in the legends and stories your guide will tell you all about and learn about Lake Titicaca’s importance in the local worldview and means of subsistence.´Grow closely acquainted with the unique interconnections of man and nature surviving to this day. Be it by car, by bike or on foot, make your way through the paths pondering through open fields and pastures, reaching the privileged views of natural lookouts and finally enjoying the lake’s extensive reach. As part of the excursion, guests will see the lodge’s neighbouring communities engaging in daily labours, birds in their varying ecosystems, archaeological remains, and astonishing landscapes. Along the way, stop and enjoy your specially prepared lunch in the company of the lake’s calm and majestic views.

At Titilaka, all staff understand the need for responsible travel and are deeply committed to both minimising ecological footprint and being the best possible neighbour to the local communities that have welcomed the hotel and its guests with open arms. CALTUR is the Peruvian government certification for tourism quality, which incorporates both environmental and social standards; Titilaka has qualified every year. Titilaka’s social commitment is focused on supporting the sustainable economic development of the villages around the lodge. Starting by offering local community members a stable, well-paid job that is all too rare in this part of the world, these jobs complement their traditional lifestyle focused on small-scale agriculture. Three-quarters of staff come from local communities and we source ingredients locally as much as possible, providing the families with an important market for their products, from food crops to Andean textiles. Titilaka also works hand in hand with a non-profit organisation that supports the communities around the lake. We make a donation on behalf of every guest. Guests will also have a chance to give back personally by making their own donation or visiting a local village.

Respecting the natural environment is central to Titilaka’s mission and they have a deep commitment to eco-practices . The lodge inherently has a small ecological footprint. In Addition the following measures are adhered to reduce it even further:

• Separate all our trash to recycle as much as possible. By doing so, they also hope to encourage suppliers, contractors, and neighbouring
  communities to also adopt this important practice.
• Recycle used water from Titilaka for irrigation around the lodge.
• Staff also clean up the area around the lodge, including local lake beaches.
• The Lodge sources local ingredients as much as possible, thus minimising the food miles of the meals they serve.
