Travel activities on Lake Titicaca, including visits to the Uros floating islands, are continuing as scheduled following a fire that affected nearby reed beds.

Tropic’s local team has confirmed that the Uros community visited on its itineraries was not affected. Although wind carried smoke and ash into the surrounding area, there have been no disruptions to tourism services.

The environmental impact of the fire is deeply regrettable. Thankfully, local authorities have reported no injuries or fatalities. Tropic’s local operations team continues to monitor conditions on the ground and assess any implications for upcoming visits. Travel partners will be informed promptly if any changes affect travellers or scheduled services.
