Highlights

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.


You'll see men knitting the distinctive chullo hats and women weaving intricate belts, skills passed down through generations that tell stories through patterns and colors.The combination works well: kayaking to Uros gives you an active start to the day, while Taquile offers cultural depth and the chance to walk the island's stone paths.

Itinerary

  • Uros

    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. Once we reach the floating islands of Uros, the families who live there will explain how the islands are built and maintained using totora reeds, and what daily life looks like. Then, we'll switch to a fast boat (1 .5h) to reach Taquile Island. On Taquile, you'll climb roughly 40 minutes from the dock to reach the main plaza—the island sits higher than Uros, with terraced hillsides and stone pathways. The people here have been weaving textiles for generations, and you'll see them working throughout the day with natural dyes and traditional patterns. The men knit the chullo hats while women handle the weaving; the colors and designs actually indicate marital status and which community someone belongs to. You'll have time to walk, visit a small museum that explains the island's textile traditions, and look out from viewpoints that show how the island drops away into the lake. We'll return to Puno, arriving around 4 PM.
