FLOATING ISLAND OF UROS - SILLUSTANI:
Breakfast Transfer from your hotel to the local pier, where we will go to the floating Island of Uros, located at 10 Km. away from the Puno pier. The residents of the Uros use the cattail, a type of rush, which grows in the lake, to create the conditions that ensure the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that the plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are extremely humid because of the surrounding water. Only in the early 60's, the Uros started to build small artificial islands with reeds called "totora" for their homes. Fishermen, hunters and taxidermist inhabit the floating islands of the Uros. We will return at 12.30h to Puno to your hotel In the afternoon (departure at 14:00h) transfer from the hotel to the Archaeological Center of Sillustani, located at 28 Km. away from Puno .
