Why do we recommend the Uros and Taquile tour by speedboat?
The main reason is that we shorten the navigation time on the lake, having more time to enjoy the visits in Uros and Taquile, in addition to having calmer walks and being more comfortable because the boat is also more spacious and comfortable.
The places that are visited are the same as those of the Tour of Uros and Taquile normal boat:
2 islands in the Uros (of the more than 90 islands that make up these floating islands)
Taquile Island, where we will visit its main square to have lunch and appreciate its customs, beautiful views of the lake and its textiles.
As we mentioned before, the difference is basically the navigation time that each boat makes, as we show below.
