The Uros Islands only
This is the shortest tour: 3 hrs 30 min according to the listing, with hotel pickup, a guide, a boat ride and the entry fee. It works if you have little time in Puno. Handicrafts and boat rides on the islands are optional, with no obligation to buy.
Uros and Taquile in one day
It lasts 8 to 10 hours and adds Taquile to the Uros, with transport by bus and boat, a guide and the entrance fees to both islands. Lunch is optional. Drinks are not included. Choose this option if you want to see more without spending the night on the lake, and check the guide's language on the tour listing.
Two days with Amantani
It includes Uros, Taquile and Amantani with one night of accommodation, breakfast, two lunches and one dinner. The islands have no ATMs, so bring cash for your personal expenses. This is the option if you want to see the lake at a slow pace and sleep there, with the logistics handled by the provider.
How to choose
Decide by time: a few hours, a full day or one night. Compare the pickup time and the return on the tour cards, and check the guide's language on the tour listing. The trip from Cusco is explained on the Route of the Sun page.
