About
You'll paddle for around 1h across Lake Titicaca in a kayak, early enough to catch the lake before the tour boats. The route cuts through sections of the Lake Titicaca National Reserve where totora reeds grow thick along the shoreline.
This is a small-group tour, so your guide can adjust the pace and point out things you'd otherwise miss: the way egrets nest in the reed islands, how the Andes change color as the sun climbs higher, where the water depth shifts. The only sounds are paddles breaking the surface and birds calling from the reeds.
When you reach Uros, you'll step onto a platform woven entirely from totora and meet the family who maintains it. They'll explain how the islands are ...

Itinerary
After an early pickup (around 7 AM), you'll paddle for around 1h across Lake Titicaca at 3,812 meters above sea level. The Andes form a rim around the water, and the morning light hits differently at this altitude—sharper, clearer.
Your route takes you through the Lake Titicaca National Reserve, where dense stands of totora reeds line the shoreline and create channels through the water. These reeds shelter ducks, herons, and egrets throughout the year, with flamingos appearing seasonally. You'll hear them before you see them—wings cutting through water, calls echoing across the surface.
The paddling itself isn't strenuous. At this hour, before the afternoon winds pick up, the water stays r...
