Day 01: Uros - Amantani.
This excursion begins at 7:30am with a transfer from your hotel to the port. Then by motor boat (35 feet long with a covered section in case of rain or cold weather) we visit the Uros floating Islands. Stepping on them feels very much like a water bed (but it is quite safe), We see the houses, the islands and a ride on traditional reed boats can be arranged .We visit two of the 30 islands before continuing on to Amantani Island. After a 3 hour journey we get to Amantani.
You will probably see local families running down the hill to welcome you. At the port our group breaks into smaller groups for home stays. A typical lunch is served by your designated family.
An optional football match, then a hike to the high point of the island to watch the sunset. At dinner your designated family will dress you up in traditional local costumes and take you to the community hall for a small celebration, it is a lot of fun! Feel the energy of this living culture. (Night accommodation with a local family on the island).
