Private Tour: Taquile and Uros Islands by Kayak and Motorboat from Puno

1 day
Private
About this activity
Start your day with pickup at your hotel around 7am, then transfer in your private vehicle to the port. You'll have some time to purchase some refreshments for the journey. After boarding your motorboat at 7:30am, you'll head towards the peninsula of Capachica and after about a 1-hour boat ride you'll reach Llachon. Be prepared to see amazing views from this most scenic spot around Lake Titicaca which is where you'll begin your kayaking adventure.
Your guide will brief you on safety, provide basic paddling instruction and help you get into the kayak properly. Begin your journey paddling from the tip of the Peninsula of Capachica towards Taquile Island (about 6 mi/10 km). Enjoy the quietness of this immense lake, stunning views of the lake and snow caped mountains in the distance. Make some stops along the way to rest and enjoy refreshments you may have brought along. After the break, continue to Taquile Island and upon arrival, you'll hike to a local house to have lunch and listen to your guide explain about local customs.
Afterwards, depart Taquile Island by motorboat to reach a remote area of the National Reserve of Lake Titicaca. Explore Uros Islands which are considered the last authentic floating islands. They are the least visited and the descendants are one of the oldest cultures in South America. Here, you'll see the buoyant totora reeds important in the daily lives of the people of Uros for food and in the building of homes, boats and crafts. Although you will be able to take the motorboat around the islands, an optional reed boat tour can be arranged (at own expense) to maneuver through the area.
After spending some time navigating Uros Islands, you'll begin your return back to Puno in a motorboat with an approximate arrival to your hotel at around 5pm.
