Lake Titicaca is divided in two by the Peninsula of Copacabana: Lago Mayor (main lake) is the northern part and the Lago Menor (minor lake) or Lake Huyñaymarca is the southern part. Our expedition is focused in the Huñaymarca archipelago, a very little known region, rarely visited by tourists. In this place we will learn more about local customs by spending a night in a family house, sharing lunch in desert islands and camping in places where vicuñas will be our only company. We’ll also catch sight of vizcachas and a great variety of birds, some of them endemic and endangered species.
FIXED DEPARTURES: JANUARY 6 to 10th / 13 to 17th / 20 to 24th / FEBRUARY 3 to 7th / 24 to 28th / MARCH 3 to 7th.

El lago Titicaca es el lago navegable mas alto del mundo, y está dividido en dos partes por la península de Copacabana: el Lago mayor es la parte norte y mas extensa, y el Lago Menor o laguna de Huiñaymarca es la parte sur. Nuestra expedición se centra en la zona norte y mas conocida, pero exploraremos las partes menos conocidas y recorridas de esa zona. Acamparemos en playas de arena blanca, entre campos de cultivo y dormiremos tambien en unas casitas de los pobladores de la comunidad de Ticonata. Veremos vizcachas y una gran variedad de aves, algunas de ellas endémicas y en peligro de extinción. Al final del recorrido en kayak retornaremos a Cusco pasando a acampar y explorar por el Cañón de Tinajani. Cada día remaremos entre 2 y 5 horas a un ritmo medio, y haremos caminatas por la tarde. Una lancha a motor nos acompaña en cada tramo por si alguien se cansa. Altura 3815 msnm todo el tiempo de remada, y hasta 4116m en el punto mas alto de las caminatas. Grado de dificultad medio. No es necesario tener experiencia previa pero si regular estado físico.
