Why recommend the tour Uros and Taquile Island in Speed boat?
The main reason is that we shortened the time of navigation in the lake, having more time to enjoy the visits in Uros and Taquile, have more calm walks and be more comfortable since the boat is also a little wider and more comfortable.
The places that are visited are the same as the Uros Tour and Taquile normal boat such us:
- 2 islands in the Uros (of the more than 90 islands that make up these floating islands).
- The Island of Taquile, where we will have a presentation of their dances, textiles, crafts and other customs by the inhabitants of Taquile; We will enjoy a typical lunch in Taquile (First course: Quinoa soup; Main course: Grilled trout with rice, potatoes and salad; Hot infusions).
Important: If you want a vegetarian option or other options, please let us know.
But as we mentioned the difference is basically the navigation time as shown below.
GENERAL ITINERARY:
Normal Boat: From 6:50 am to 5:30 pm
Speed Boat: From 7:15 am to 3:30 pm
