Description
Uros Kayak and Taquile by Fast Boat is highly recommended for sea-kayaking adventurers who would like to do exciting kayak
activities and join shared tour of Taquile by Fast Boat transport.
But first of all, we have to say that due you’re taking a shared speed boat from Uros islands, you’ll definitely visit the crowded places in Taquile,
we do not promise Taquile off the beaten tracks, a lot of people take the same road to the main Plaza.
Do not expect to be the only ones around.
Your day with us begins at 7:00 am with a quick pick-up from your Puno hotel to local kayak dock. Here,
in case this is your first time doing kayaking, you’ll get elemental kayak paddling instructions from your guide
then we’ll be able to start paddling toward Uros islands.
On the way enjoy its beauty scenery landscape. Definitely we’ll go kayaking on our own pace and rhythm if your priority is to spend more time in the kayaks.
But if you want to stay more time on Uros islands, see inside their houses, ride on reed boat to go around for cutting Totora reeds and put fishing net
(available only upon request), we have to depart early in the morning and paddle just as fast as we can do in order to gain time.
The average time paddling to Suma Kile Island by kayaks, located in the North side of Uros area, is 1h30min.
We’ll have plenty of time for pictures, explanation, and enjoying the landscape from the kayaks also. So you can decide what to choose prior kayak departure,
all our kayak tours are customized.
Finally, we leave Suma Kile Island at 9:10 am, and we go by small motor boat to take the Fast Boat, which usually visits the crowded area, just 5 or 10 min away.
So you are picked up by this Speed Boat that comes from the main Puno port for joining to Uros and Taquile the Classical Tour by Fast Boat.
On arrival at Taquile Island, you walk up to the summit for approximately 35 to 45 minutes. Visit their main attractions, relax and enjoy a locally prepared
lunch of delicious and fresh Lake Titicaca trout.
After lunch, you then have to take a short hike down the island before crossing the lake via motor boat heading back to Puno. In the late afternoon, at the port
you are picked up and get back to your hotel.
