This tour offers definitely a great value for the price. The first half of the day consist on visiting one of the floating islands, followed by a stop at Taquile Island, both are pretty amazing but my highlight of the tour is the overnight stay in the Luquina peninsula. The host family was very welcoming, I got to enjoy kayaking, a boat ride, sunset at El mirador and learn about all the crops and vegetables they grow, all in a relaxing setting at the shore of lake Titicaca. I got to enjoy dinner, breakfast and lunch with my host family, I got to try some of the vegetables and kinoa they grow in their farm while learning about the diffent comunities around the lake and history of the area. The rooms overlook the lake so the views are fantastic.
If you are looking to escape at least for one night from the noise of town and relax, this is definitely the place to do it.

Il soggiorno presso una famiglia di Amantani è stato davvero speciale. La semplicità della vita condotta in queste isole ci fa ripensare alla gioventù vissuta dai nostri nonni e forse bisnonni. I sapori dei prodotti locali, i colori degli abiti, il fatto di avere come animale domestico Paco, un piccolo Alpaca...tutto davvero speciale.
