Uros Islands (floating reed islands)

Najboljši čas za obisk

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.

Nasveti za proračun

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.

Priporočeno za

Cultural travelers, Photography enthusiasts, Adventure seekers, Solo backpackers

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Na približno 60 ročno spletenih plavajočih otokih, v celoti izdelanih iz trstičja totora, še vedno živi okoli 1.200 pripadnikov ljudstva Uros. Otoke je treba nenehno vzdrževati, sa novimi plasti trstičja, ki jih dodajajo vsaka dva tedna, sicer počasi zgnijejo in potonejo v jezero Titicaca.

Poudarki: Otoki se dobesedno premikajo pod vašimi nogami: ob vsakem koraku čutite, kako gobasto trstičasto površino niha in se ziblje, kot da hodite po ogromni vodni postelji. Cele otoške skupnosti se sellijo skupaj, ko njihova trstičasta osnova propade, in vlečejo svoje domove na sveže območja po jezeru.

Notranji nasveti

  • 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.
