Visit early morning (7-9 AM) to avoid the midday crowds from Puno tours and catch the calmest lake conditions. The dry season from May to October offers the clearest skies and best photo lighting.

Most visitors join a group tour from Puno costing 30-50 soles ($8-13 USD) per person including boat transport and a guide. Negotiate directly with boat captains at the Lake Titicaca dock in Puno to avoid agency markups.

- Bring cash in small denominations (soles) to buy handmade textiles or reed crafts directly from families on the islands.
- Wear closed-toe water-resistant shoes: the reed ground stays damp and you will sink slightly with each step.
- Skip the crowded main islands closest to Puno and ask your guide to visit the smaller, more remote family-run islands farther out.
- Book an overnight homestay with a Uros family to experience the islands after all day-trippers leave at 3 PM.
