¿Es un engaño para turistas? Si ¿Te fuerzan para comprar ? Si Pero Ernesto nos trato genial, nos fue a buscar al hotel y nos devolvió, nos explicó cómo se forman las islas y pasamos un rato agradable. Estuvo bien. Estando en Puno hay que hacerlo Translate this opinion into English.

Is it a tourist scam? Yes. Do they force you to buy? Yes. But Ernesto treated us wonderfully. He picked us up from the hotel and brought us back. He explained how the islands are formed, and we had a great time. It was good. When you're in Puno, you have to do it. Opinion translated. Show original.

La actividad fue regular, fuimos a una primera isla en uros donde nos enseñaron por encima como se realiza la isla. Pero luego fue todo saca dineros. Después nos llevaron a una segunda isla que no nos explicaron cuánto tiempo íbamos a estar ( que fue más tiempo que el resto d ela excursión) y que ellos lo llamaban isla más comercial. Y después ya sería la vuelta. Y civitatis cobra la excursión más del doble que lo q cobraba mi hotel. Pero ya era tarde para cancelarlo.

The activity was average. We went to the first island in Uros, where they gave us a rough rundown of the island. But then it was all about money-grubbing. They then took us to a second island, where they didn't explain how long we'd be there (which was longer than the rest of the excursion), and they called it a more commercial island. And then we'd have to return. CiVitatis charges more than double what my hotel charged for the excursion. But it was too late to cancel.

La actividad fue interesante y Ernesto, el guía fue muy atento y agradable. Si pudiera valorar el guía por separado, mi valoración sería excelente. Sin embargo, en las islas de los Uros la insistencia de los comerciantes en que les compres souvenirs y montes en barca de totora es muy agobiante y desagradable. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was interesting and Ernesto, the guide, was very attentive and pleasant. If I could rate the guide separately, my rating would be excellent. However, on the Uros Islands, the merchants' insistence that you buy souvenirs and ride a reed boat is very overwhelming and unpleasant. Opinion translated. Show original.

O passeio é muito rico culturalmente mas tem que ter paciência para todas as vendas que fazem. Saindo de uma ilha para outra te orientam a seguir por outro barco pois o outro estará esperando lá, mas ao sair somos cobrados S15 pelo barco que não pedimos, mas não tem outro. A segunda parada é somente para o restaurante e voltar para Puno. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour is very culturally rich but you have to be patient for all the sales they make. Leaving from one island to another, they advise you to take another boat as the other one will be waiting there, but when leaving we are charged S15 for the boat that we did not ask for, but there is no other one. The second stop is just for the restaurant and back to Puno. Opinion translated. Show original.

Estuvo bien. Explicaciones sobre la construcción/mantenimientos de las islas y vida de sus habitantes. Resto del tiempo enfocado a la venta de productos y venta de la excursión adicional en un barco de totora por los alrededores empujado por una barca a motor. El turismo es la única fuente de ingreso de las comunidades. Translate this opinion into English.

It was good. Explanations about the construction/maintenance of the islands and life of its inhabitants. Rest of the time focused on the sale of products and sale of the additional excursion in a totora boat through the surroundings pushed by a motor boat. Tourism is the only source of income for the communities. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos pasearon a buscar al hotel un poco más tarde de lo que pone en la web y nos llevaron al muelle, de allí se va a los Uros y te enseñan cómo viven y la artesanía que hacen (bastante cara). Después te dicen que si quieres montarte en la embarcación que usan ellos son 15 soles (algo menos de 4€) por persona y te llevan a la "zona central" de las islas donde hay un bar y un par de cosas donde hacerte foto. Ha sido una mañana entretenida y estamos encantados de haber podido ver los Uros. Translate this opinion into English.

They picked us up at the hotel a little later than it says on the web and took us to the dock, from there you go to the Uros and they show you how they live and the crafts they make (quite expensive). Then they tell you that if you want to get on the boat they use, it costs 15 soles (just under €4) per person and they take you to the "central area" of the islands where there is a bar and a couple of things to take pictures of. It has been an entertaining morning and we are delighted to have been able to see the Uros. Opinion translated. Show original.

Las islas ururs son sorprendentes y curiosas, el guía estupendo y las explicaciones, pero la sensación es, que desde que empieza el tour eres un billete andante y pagas por todo... Sin opción a decir que no... La verdad no repetiría, iría e colectivo por mi cuenta.

The ururs islands are surprising and curious, the guide is great and the explanations are great, but the feeling is that from the start of the tour you are a walking ticket and you pay for everything... With no option to say no... The truth is that I would not repeat , I would go and collective on my own.

El servicio fue muy bueno, puntual en la recogida del hotel, y muy buena la atención y las explicaciones ofrecidas por los guias durante toda la actividad. La parte no tan positiva, es que te vas con la sensación de que los uros necesitan la entrada de ingresos por parte del turismo, y que toda actividad en las islas acaba en un fin económico de un modo poco sutil. Comprar artesanía ($), paseo en barco de totora ($), sellar el pasaporte ($), comer en su paradita ($).

Foi muito legal, muito educativa no sentido de conhecer a vida dos antigos e atuais incas. O guia foi muito solicito. O que nao gostei foi que a operadora nao respondia minhas mensagens, nao entrou em contato e só falou comigo quando mandei whatsapp

Visita a los Uros genial. Habia leido algun comentario que no hacia falta ir a Taquile, la verdad que la visita ha estaso muy bien y a las 12 llegabamos a Puno para deguir visitando. Mención especial a Ernesto que hacia muy buenas explicacione y nos ha ayudado y cuidado toda la mañana Translate this opinion into English.

Great visit to the Uros. I had read some comments that there was no need to go to Taquile, the truth is that the visit was very good and at 12 we arrived in Puno to continue visiting.

Tudo conforme combinado. O guia Ernesto muito prestativo. Nas ilhas te obrigam a pagar um passeio de barco de junco que custa 20 soles por pessoa, mas eu já sabia do fato devido a outros relatos de viajantes, portanto não fui pega de surpresa. Se quiser carimbar o passaporte, custa 2 soles por carimbo (esse sim me pegou de surpresa... Rs, mas é baratinho). Translate this opinion into English.

Everything as agreed. The guide Ernesto was very helpful. On the islands they force you to pay for a reed boat ride that costs 20 soles per person, but I already knew that from other traveler reports, so I wasn't caught by surprise. If you want to get your passport stamped, it costs 2 soles per stamp (this one took me by surprise... Lol, but it's cheap). Opinion translated. Show original.

El guia estuvo muy bien y atento. La excursion a la isla de los uros esta demasiado enfocada a la venta de productos. te sientes practicamente obligado a comprar algo a la familia que te ensena la isla, pero en lineas generales merece la pena ver como viven en esas islas y el apisaje Translate this opinion into English.

The guide was very good and attentive. The excursion to the island of the Uros is too focused on the sale of products. You feel practically obliged to buy something from the family that shows you the island, but in general terms it is worth seeing how they live on those islands and the landscaping.
