Paddle through the floating reed islands of Uros in a sea kayak, getting close to the golden totora channels that wind between the islands. This 1h kayaking experience puts you at water level, where you'll feel the coolness of the lake —a quieter, more intimate approach than arriving by motorboat.
The Uros families you meet will share how they build and maintain these remarkable floating homes. Then, a fast boat takes you across open water to Taquile that rises steeply from Lake Titicaca, its terraced hillsides home to communities known for their textile work—recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Itinerary
The tour begins early at 6:45 AM approx. From there, we'll board the kayak accompanied by a motor boat and paddle for approximately an hour, taking in views of Lake Titicaca, its diverse flora and fauna, and a small rock island along the route.
