A night on the Uros islands

Immerse yourself in a world unlike any other on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. The Uros, an Indigenous community, have lived for centuries on floating islands made of reeds, preserving their traditions to this day. With Viventura, you stay overnight on these remarkable islands – an experience that brings the daily life of the Uros closer than any day trip ever could.

Away from the usual visitor routes, you gain insight into the community’s way of life, enjoy views across the shimmering lake and experience the tranquillity and magic of Lake Titicaca at sunrise and sunset.

The Uros are one of Peru’s oldest Indigenous groups, living on the islands of Lake Titicaca long before Inca times. To protect themselves from enemies and to secure access to fish, they developed the skill of building floating islands from reeds. Even today, the reeds are renewed regularly to keep the islands stable and habitable.

The community lives closely together, sharing work and resources while preserving their knowledge of boatbuilding, crafts and fishing. Visitors who spend a night with the Uros gain insight into their traditions, rituals and daily life, experiencing the lake in a way that day trips cannot offer.

The overnight stay directly supports the Uros and helps them preserve their cultural heritage while providing an important source of income.
