Pick-up will be in front of the Cathedral on the Main Square of Puno city.
Description
It offers a different way of visiting the amazing and popular reed home islands from Puno city.
This late afternoon on your kayak you’ll cover the beautiful foreshore of Southern Uros islands in Lake Titicaca National Reserve. It’s perfect for those who are fairly new to kayaking, as well as more experienced kayakers who enjoy and appreciate the contrast while the sun is slowly setting over Puno hill and the reed islands.
Current launch location is near Isla Esteves 15 min away from Puno city but you won’t need to make sure how you’re going to get to the local dock for the scheduled lunching time because private transfer is included.
You don’t need to be an experienced kayaker as our kayaks are really stable and you will be instructed and guided in a small group of paddlers (or only you).

Really enjoyed the tour a...
Really enjoyed the tour a lot! Its a way to experience the lake in a much calmer way than with the tourist boats. Stunning views and the Sounds of the birds…The Agency also helped me to store my luggage during the tour, as I had already checked out :)

Brilliant tour guide for kayaking and boat tours on Lake Titicaca
Andean Ways is a great company. Edison was a brilliant guide for both a sunset kayak tour of the Uros islands and a private tour of Taquile Island the next day. He was friendly, flexible, knowledgeable, and a great boat navigator. We appreciated Freddy’s attention to the WhatsApp account in getting us scheduled with flexibility and relatively short notice while offering affordable prices. Highly recommend Andean Ways for anyone looking for chill kayak and boat tours on Lake Titicaca!

Bucket list Advey!
Edison, our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the people, languages and culture of the Uros Islands. That’s in addition to the awesome kayaking experience!

Rent a kayak for an adventure
I took a rental kayak by myself (solo female) around sunset and navigated to Urcos. The equipment was top notch and the experience was beautiful. I highly recommend this company. Great communication, timeliness and value. Felt very safe.

True professionals
When I booked, the professionalism of these people could already be perceived through the emails.
I traveled from La Paz to Cusco with a van.
Punctual for the meeting at the airport.
The change of driver at the border with Peru without any hitch.
The van was equipped with wi-fi, very convenient on this long journey.
Excursion to Lake Titicaca, visit to the Uros village.
The guide was professional and kind.
The driver was very helpful, punctual and friendly.
I absolutely recommend it

Kayak Uros, it’s the best way!!!
Edison was such a great guide.
Everything happened on time and his knowledge of the area was amazing. We spent time on one of the islands and even tried some of the local stone cooked fish ;)
Great way to see Uros and the floating islands - highly recommend:)
Why go on a noisy boat if you can kayak!
