From your hotel, it takes about 20 minutes to walk (or 5 minutes to drive) to the edge of Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca has several islands that you can visit by boat, like the Uros Islands and Taquile Island. These islands all have inhabitants that welcome visitors. The people of Uros made these “floating islands” out of reeds that grow from the bottom of the lake. They use the same reeds to make small boats. On Taquile Island you can admire the textiles that the local men knit, both to wear and to sell to visitors.
