Your Tour Itinerary
8:30 am – Hotel to cycling starting place transfer
You’ll be picked up from your hotel in Puno city or from any Uros floating lodge (from Kalapajra pier). The driver and your bike guide come to your hotel bringing the cycling equipment and gear.

9:30 am – Biking in the high Plateau
After a brief introduction of what you’ll do during this special day, you start pedaling. First 2 kilometers will be to warm up and find your rhythm. Let your guide pedal in front of you (he’ll be your domestique) then you will save more energy to get until the finish line.
On the way you’ll take in sight some local farm houses, animals, crop fields and after pedaling almost 2 hours you are going to reach the shore of Lake Umayu.
First break will be at Hatuncolla community and finally arrive to shore of Umayo lagoon.
After the last break you’ll keep cycling at your own pace following your guide. A long the way, road condition is really good and you’ll face up and down hills.
If you consider cycling + 10 km is too much then your biking experience can start from Hatuncolla to wooden boat launching pier. It is situated 1 hour by bike and is the best part of the ride.
