Kayak Titicaca and Homestay Uros

About this activity

Group of natives living in the Lake Titicaca since Pre-Inca time and call themselves «children of the lake». The islands as their homes, boats and furniture are made of reeds (totora). The homes on the island have electricity powered by solar panels. The travelers are well welcomed and you can stay with the natives, boating and fishing, enjoying the typical food in the middle of a beautiful landscape, and see at night the sky of stars. You will also have a chance to do manual labor with the natives, either as cutting the reeds and knitting with the ladies.

Enjoy an experience to spend a night on this floating island along the hospitality of their families.
