Why Llachon Kayak?
At Andean Ways we still believe in authenticity, we think there is still genuine ways of life out there in Lake Titicaca to rediscover to live and share, and that's why Llachon Kayak is more than just kayaking and paddling across the open Lake and along the shoreline of Llachon Capachica peninsula.
We have created Llachon Kayak as a full-day fully guided kayaking and cultural experience combo tour for your total enjoyment.
Llachon Kayak was designed for people that really love to experience true local tradition, cultural exchange encounter and be part of how exactly is the daily basis life of one of the most incredible Islanders on the highest navigable Lake of the world: Uros Titino ethnic group.
Compared to the Uros Islanders that live near to Puno city (6km away) Uros Titino population has built their islands near to Capachica peninsula and live in an authentic way. See more differences by reading our Uros Islands Kayak Adventure Half Day Group Tour
