Overview

  • Imagine sailing on a traditional totora reed raft straight into the heart of Chimu Island in Puno—a magical corner where commercial tourism does not exist and pure authenticity fills the air!

    We want you to feel the magic of living alongside a community that opens the doors of its home to share its most intimate secrets: you will dip your hands into the water to harvest totora reeds, share laughs with the locals while mastering the art of braiding the quesanas, and design a unique souvenir guided by talented artisan women.

    You will take home fascinating stories that never make it into guidebooks and moments etched in your heart that you will remember for a lifetime.

    It is the perfect journey for exploring souls, families who want to teach their children the value of what is real, and anyone seeking a deep, transformative disconnect.

    Come experience the real Titicaca!
