Full Day tour to Uros Titino and Llachon from Puno
Description
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

Itinerary
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).
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.

We booked this tour to avoid the overflowing islands of Taquile and Amantani. The Llachon Peninsula seems very suitable for this. We really enjoyed the peace and seclusion there. Lake Titicaca with its deep blue waters is a energizing place and on Llachon you have the peace and quiet to absorb this power. On the way there you will stop at one of the floating islands of the Uros. There you can learn a lot of interesting things about the way the Uros live, how the islands are built, how societies work, about food on the islands and so on. Of course, you can also marvel at some crafts and buy them, but you are not harassed. Our guide Pepe comes from one of these islands himself and was able to tell us a lot. It was noted that he cared deeply about the culture of the people around the lake. On Llachon, he explained to us the importance of different textiles, their production, their historical context and their production, using some of the pieces. The warmth of heart and dedication to this topic was impressive for us, he managed to take us with him great. Thank you Pepe! We were also delighted with lunch at a small restaurant on Llachon. There was trout, of course, obvious. But she was really very good and just fit in perfectly with this day at the lake. Organizationally, everything was great. Pepe was super punctual in the morning to pick us up, the boat was clean, there were enough life jackets for the size of the boat (there were only two of us anyway) and we felt very comfortable on board. You're on the boat for about four hours. Don't forget a warm jacket, then nothing stands in the way of a relaxing trip.
Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Ruhe und Schönheit von Llachon genossen haben und dass Pepe Ihnen so viel über die Kultur der Uros und die Textilien erzählen konnte. Es ist toll zu hören, dass das Mittagessen und die Organisation ebenfalls Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen haben. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!
