5th October 7:15 AM When I finished my breakfast which was served on the roof of the hotel I went down to the reception waiting to be picked up at 7:30 for a full day tour to the islas flotantes also known as the Uros islands and the island of Tequile which are on the lake Titicaca. From my hotel we went to pick up some other people and from there we headed straight to the docks in Puno where we met our tour guide for the day and we got on board the boat.
It took us about 30 minutes to get the Uros islands . The islands are made and maintained of totora reed which are grown on the lake and they have other uses such building houses , boats, cooking , making tourist souvenirs and the root of the reed is also edible.




We spent about 30 minutes on the island where after we took a ride on one of their tortora reed boats to an other island which was similar but slightly larger. On this island they had a mini market as well.
From here we left to the isla Tequile which was an other 3 hours boat trip. To reach the center of the island we had to walk all the way up from the port where we had lunch and a walking tour around the small town .
We left isla Tequile around 2:30 PM back to Puno. I arrived at hotel at 5 30 PM and from there I took a taxi to the bus station to catch a 6 hour long bus trip to Ariquipa.
