What you can expect

We will depart from your hotel located in the city of Puno until we will reach the starting point situated at the Lake Titicaca shore. Before departing, we are going to put on our life jacket and get on the kayaks with safety.

We will cross the extensive lake admiring the beautiful flora and fauna around. Many kind of birds live in this area and within the Titicaca National Reserve such as wild ducks, herons and flamingos. Also, there are species of frogs, and fishes as a daily food.

The Lake Titicaca has an altitude of 3,812 metres above sea level and it is the second largest lake in South America.

The kayak tour on Lake Titicaca continues passing near the rocky island called Isla Foroba and finally we will reach the Uros floating islands. We are going to explore these incredible totora islands, and learn the community customs and lifestyle.

The Uros people is an ancient population dedicated to fishing and farming, as well as tourism all the year round. These islands are made with totora reeds. The inhabitants talk Spanish; however, the official language is aimara.

After this amazing experience you will take a motor boat to go towards the Island of Taquile. You will appreciate stunning landscapes with views to Amantani Island, the largest one located in the Peruvian side.

Upon arrival, the Taquile people will welcome us, and here you will learn about their lifestyle, as well as look up to their incredible textile arts considered as heritage. The people still use old weaving techniques and used vegetables to dye their textiles.

Enjoy a traditional lunch with a local family. At the end of this unique experience, you will take the boat to get back to the starting point and take you to your hotel in the city of Puno.
