HALF DAY TOUR TO URUS IN PUNO

Puno is situated between the shores of Lake Titicaca and the mountains surrounding the city. There is less than 2 miles distance of flat land between the shores and the foothills, which has caused the growing city to continue to expand upwards onto the hillsides.

As a result, the town's less developed and poorest areas, which are high on the hillsides, often have very steep streets, which are generally not paved and cannot be accessed by automobile.

TOUR ITINERARY

The floating islands of Uros are located inside the bay of Lake Titicaca only 14 Km. (9 miles) away from the city (20 to 30 minutes of navigation). The name Uros was used to name a very particular ethnic group that co-existed in Lake Titicaca with the Inkas, Aymaras and possibly with older civilizations. In fact, it is believed that the Uros were one of the first ethnic groups populating the Andean region. These people were simple fishers and bird hunters and preferred to remain isolated from the more advanced civilizations. Their search for isolation may be one reason why they decided to live in mobile houses on the Lake Titicaca.
