Cultural Tour to Uros Floating Island - Non touristic Discount Tickets

Overview

Most visitors see the Uros floating islands from a tour boat and move on. This experience puts you on the islands themselves, working alongside the families who've built and rebuilt their homes on layers of totora reed for generations. You'll cut fresh reeds from the lake and help lay them down — the same maintenance routine the Uros follow every couple of weeks to keep their islands from sinking. There's also a chance to set up fishing nets along the shore using traditional methods, and if you'd like, you can try on traditional Uro clothing for a while. Between activities, the community opens up about their daily craft work. You'll watch them weave textiles and shape intricate jewelry, and they're happy to walk you through the process. Waterfowl come and go across the lake the whole time, so there's always something happening around you — part of what makes the islands feel less like a destination and more like someone's living, working home.
