Kayaking on Cusco's lakes, the “boat-men” excursion

According to etymologists, kayak means “man’s boat”, given that it is designed to accommodate a single person. In Peru, and especially in Cusco, kayaking is widely practiced on waters ideal for this sport. 

 

For example, it is possible to kayak on Lake Huaypo and glide through placid waters as you watch local fishermen casting their nets in search of rainbow trout. 

 

Or, if you prefer, you can head for Lake Piuray, in Chincheros, where your only company will be the reflections of the mountains in the water. 

If you enjoy the water, pack your swimsuit and some good sunscreen, and don’t miss the chance to kayak in Cusco!
