along the Peninsula of Capachica harvest reeds from the lake in their wooden boats, and transport them up to their hillside farms on the backs of burrows. Going for a walk along the pathways that connect the towns and homes allows a glimpse of the whole process in action as you pass burrows carrying their loads and children herding sheep from one pasture to the next. Crops are planted along the hillside and in some area right through the sand beach to the edge of Lake Titicaca.

There are no hotels or restaurants in Llachon or the surrounding area. Visitors here must stay with families, usually in a small outer building, and they will cook meals for their guests.

Llachon can either be reached by boat or via car down a dirt road which takes about 2½ hours. Trips can be booked through some travel agencies in Puno, although it is not always easy to arrange. Titikayak offers kayaking trips in the Llachon area and will arrange accommodation in the area as well.
