Additional Information

It is recommended to wear warm clothing in the morning and light clothing during the day, as well as to use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun’s radiation.
Lake Titicaca is located at more than 3,800 meters above sea level, so it is important to be acclimated to avoid altitude sickness. It is recommended to rest well, stay hydrated, and drink coca tea.
There are no ATMs or credit card services on the islands, so it is recommended to bring cash in soles for purchasing handicrafts or giving tips.
The inhabitants of the Uros, Amantaní, and Taquile Islands keep their traditions alive, so it is recommended to ask for permission before taking photos and to respect their customs.
