Uros Titicaca Lodge Puno Peru — Hotel in undefined

If you are visiting Puno or Lake Titicaca, you must stay here! The lodging is beautiful and the families who own/run it are gracious, share their love of the unique Uros culture and way of life. The food was fresh and some of the best we had in Peru.||The lodge arranged transport from our PeruHop bus drop off point to the marina where we were picked up by Elvis, who took us by boat about 30 minutes to the lodge. The lodge is past the main floating village of Uros- one of the last families to live outside the village.||Our rooms (2 couples - my husband and I in our 60's traveling with our daughter and her partner in their 30's) were idyllic. We had the bigger one with 3 sides glass overlooking Lake Titicaca. ||It was the perfect place to acclimate to altitude (12,500 feet) for Two very peaceful days. I was actually pretty sick and was happy to stay in bed on the deck or in our room.|| Ivan, the Uros Titicaca Lodge owner, grew up in the Uros community and shared his love for the way of life and explained how it is all changing with recent regulations. ||There are many activities to do- kayaking, dragon boat, fishing, visiting the Uros. Community, visiting a craft village. Or just resting and reading in the peaceful, beautiful place.||2 of our group went on the dragon boat with Ivan and learned about the lake. ||On the way back to Puno, we spent time in Uros Village with a family where they showed us about drying fish, potatoes, and some of their embroidery crafts. The crafts were for sale, low pressure, and we were happy to buy a couple of pillow covers and wall hangings knowing that they were made right there.||A wonderful experience and highly recommend as the only place you should stay on...

We had been looking for accommodation on Lake Titicaca for a long time - and then decided on Uros Lodge, the best choice ever. What an experience to wake up in the middle of Lake Titicaca on a floating island in this fantastic lodge! A really large room with large glass windows offering an uninterrupted view of the lake - and what a sunrise! An extra "dining room" where the delicious local food is served and the bathroom with hot water (and decent pressure) complete the wonderful lodge. For cold nights there is a gas stove that provides plenty of warmth. Walter was a fantastic host. He took care of everything and organized all things perfectly - from picking us up at the port in Puno and storing our rental car, the half-day trip around the reed islands in his self-built traditional Tortora boat, the day trip to Taquile Island and the move to his brother-in-law's lodge (unfortunately, he was already fully booked for the third night). He is not only a great manager but also someone who is passionate about sharing the culture of the Uros with his guests. Not only did he give us detailed information about the history and customs of the Uros (e.g. using models to show us how the traditional Tortora huts have to be built and maintained), he also showed us his fantastic museum, where he has recreated the flora and fauna of Lake Titicaca - all by hand! It's a shame that this is only accessible to his guests. His hospitality and that of his parents (his mother is really great at cooking with the small traditional ovens) was overwhelming. We left with melancholy! We can only warmly...
