End the day with a sunset hike to the island's highest point, offering panoramic views of Lake Titicaca under a starlit sky. Day 2: Amantani - Taquile - Puno After breakfast with your host family, set sail for Taquile Island, known for its intricate handwoven textiles and communal lifestyle.

Return to the Uros Islands for a final opportunity to explore the floating villages before concluding your tour. The journey comes to a close as you're transported back to Puno, where you'll be dropped off at a central location, ideally situated for further exploration or a comfortable return to your accommodation.
