You’ll start kayaking from an off the beaten and genuine gem side of Lake Titicaca National Reserve. You’ll paddle on a clean water and enjoy the view of the surrounding maze of reeds, Mountains and local birds.

After one hour, you’ll arrive and disembark at the Lake Titicaca’s premier attraction, the floating Islands of the Uros people (the world’s most innovative feats of human engineering).

Your guide provides a natural and cultural history interpretation of the floating islanders’ innovation that begins with the Islands’ most basic and vital components: the Totora roots and reeds.
