Most Lake Titicaca tours follow the same route to the main Uros islands. This one doesn't. You'll visit Uros Titino — a quieter, less-visited group of floating islands near the Capachica Peninsula where just a few families still fish, harvest totora reeds, and maintain their way of life without the crowds that pack the traditional Uros sector.
From there, you'll continue by private boat to Llachón, a rural Quechua community on the peninsula. Local families welcome you in traditional clothing, share their knowledge of native plants, and demonstrate ancient textile techniques they still use to make their own garments. Lunch is prepared with local ingredients — fresh trout, quinoa, potatoes, and soup. After eating, you're free to walk along Llachón's sandy beaches, try kayaking (extra cost) along the shoreline, or even swim in the lake. This is a private tour with a bilingual guide, your own boat, and no fixed group

1Uros Floating Islands
Unlike the main Uros islands that receive large groups daily, Uros Titino is a quieter cluster of floating islands near the Capachica Peninsula where just a handful of families still fish, hunt birds, and gather eggs from the lake — much as their ancestors did. Your bilingual guide will walk you through how the islands are built and maintained using totora reeds, and you'll have a chance to interact directly with the families who live here. There's also an optional ride on a traditional totora reed boat (20 soles per person, not included).

2Llachon
From there, you'll continue to Llachón, a Quechua farming community on the peninsula. Local families greet visitors in traditional clothing and share their knowledge of native plants and ancient textile techniques — skills they still use to make their own garments. You'll have free time to walk along Llachón's sandy beaches, and if you're up for it, you can kayak along the shoreline or even take a swim in the lake. After lunch with the community, you'll head back to Puno.
2 hours • Admission ticket free
