Overview
You'll paddle for around 1h across Lake Titicaca in a kayak, early enough to catch the lake before the tour boats. The route cuts through sections of the Lake Titicaca National Reserve where totora reeds grow thick along the shoreline.
This is a small-group tour, so your guide can adjust the pace and point out things you'd otherwise miss: the way egrets nest in the reed islands, how the Andes change color as the sun climbs higher, where the water depth shifts. The only sounds are paddles breaking the surface and birds calling from the reeds.
When you reach Uros, you'll step onto a platform woven entirely from totora and meet the family who maintains it. They'll explain how the islands are built, share stories about life on the water, and more. If you want, you can take an optional ride on a traditional reed boat.
The whole experience takes half a day—long enough to feel the lake, understand how the Uros culture works, and paddle back to the city.

After an early pickup (around 7 AM), you'll paddle for around 1h across Lake Titicaca at 3,812 meters above sea level. The Andes form a rim around the water, and the morning light hits differently at this altitude—sharper, clearer.
Your route takes you through the Lake Titicaca National Reserve, where dense stands of totora reeds line the shoreline and create channels through the water. These reeds shelter ducks, herons, and egrets throughout the year, with flamingos appearing seasonally. You'll hear them before you see them—wings cutting through water, calls echoing across the surface.
The paddling itself isn't strenuous. At this hour, before the afternoon winds pick up, the water stays relatively calm. Your kayak sits low enough that you're at eye level with the reed beds, close enough to notice how the totora stalks bend and rustle as birds move through them. The morning air is cool and thin, and the silence between paddle strokes is notable—this part of the lake sees fewer boats than the main tourist routes. You'll have time to stop, look around, and take photos from a perspective most visitors to Uros never experience.
Reserve your spot and see Uros the way few travelers do
