Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Indigenous Communities

The Uros, Taquile, and AmantanΓ­ communities are not theme parks. They are living cultures with ancient traditions. Ask before photographing people and their homes. Participate respectfully in any activities offered. Your visit should benefit the community, not exploit it.

Leave No Trace

The islands are fragile ecosystems. Take all rubbish with you. There are no waste management systems on the floating islands or remote communities. Do not disturb the reed structures on the Uros islands. The lake is the lifeline of these communities, so keep it clean.

Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Lake Titicaca travel guide.
