Lake Titicaca Bird Watching Tours

Lake Titicaca Bird Watching Tours

Price: US$ 135 for one person (private)

From US$ 75 per person (2 up to 4)

While most tour companies in Puno offer the same schedule with the same guided script along the same stops, at Andean Ways you’ll get off the beaten path experience.

We have designed for you Lake Titicaca Bird Watching Tours from Puno city or Juliaca airport (Puno Day Tours from Lima). We are going to take you to the most spectacular place in Lake Titicaca National Reserve: the habitant of the native, resident, migratory and endemic birds.

If you’re an avid birdwatcher then let us organize and make reality your special trip by joining Puno Birding Tour early in the morning or in the late afternoon (for sunset, available only upon request).

Here is … what you’ll do on Titicaca Birding Trip.

We’ll meet you at your hotel in Puno city with an entourage in tow and drive for about 40 minutes.

Then after, we’ll spend the early morning day with a local guide (boatman) and a tour guide translator on a wooden rowing boat smoothly gliding down across the calm and flat river feeding Lake Titicaca’s water, through the reeds and watching Titicaca birds, in an area belonging to Yanico community (usually closed to visitors).

After a unique and enjoyable experience in a quiet and peaceful landscape, our local expert will keep rowing his wooden boat on the way back to the shore after you observed more than 30 species of birds.

Bring snacks and water to enjoy them while slowly go back looking for some missed birds.
