We are exceptionally eager to put on our personal flotation devices, step into the kayak, and commence paddling on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Titicaca, immediately! However, if you’re a new paddler, our English-speaking kayak guide will guide you through fundamental kayaking lessons and elaborate on various paddling techniques.
Day Kayaking at Southern Uros Islands
This Uros Island kayaking Tour off the beaten path starts at 9:00 am, after an early hotel breakfast, you’re going to be picked up by our driver Demetrio then driven to Isla esteves kayak dock.
Landscape nearby local port departure is impressive and beautiful.
We’re mostly exited to wear personal floatation device, enter in the kayak and start paddling on the blue water of Lake Titicaca, right now!
But not so fast if you’re a beginner your English speaking kayak guide is going to introduce you into elemental kayak paddling lessons, paddling techniques and more.
You then will feel nature is all to us for exploring.
Paddling speed is always at your own rhythm without any pressure.
The place offers incredible views where High plateau sky and lake is one, blue water ways, green carpeted reeds (mostly in rainy seasons) and native birds living around in their natural habitat all this is amazing.
We’re going to have a panoramic view of the Peninsula of Capachica and Chucuito
Blue water endless acts like a natural border between Quechua speakers at Capachica and Aymara speaker people at Chucuito peninsula.
Here Maria or Rocio welcomes us and invites us to visit his home (but sometimes the island is empty because he’s at his sons’ island at the main Uros islands)
First impression will be how these islands would have been built?
But, there is no need to imagine! Just let your guide explain you about their origin, history, way of life and more importantly how the islands are built while you’re having the snacks.
As an extra relaxing trip you might ride on top of a traditional reed craft while it’s sailing on the lake (optional and upon previous request).
Finally, we’ll be on the way back to Puno through the main water channel, this water way is used by motor boats going to Taquile and Amantani Islands after they visited the Uros floating island.
We’ll have also extra time for exploring the main Uros Islands located at Wily River.
