Before you go read what our client has commented about this kayak tour from Llachon to Taquile Island.
Fantastic Day
Edison is a great guide. Spent the day on a kayak in Lake Titicaca. Avoided the crowds and got a really personal tour. Afterwards, Edison arranged another tour for me for the next day.
Fantastic tour comampany
If you want a kayaking trip this is the place to go. Edison is a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about local culture. Both Edison and Juan were so helpful especially when Juan gave us coca leaves to make an offering to pacha mama before we set off across the lake to Isla Taquile. 12km of kayaking later on the amazing lake titicaca we arrived on the beautiful isla Taquile. We walked the lovely stones paths to the main square. Beautiful scenery lovely people, fantastic lunch. The best kayaking trip ever!! I highly recommend you do this trip! …
