Lake Titicaca – Three Ways to Experience the Islands
We offer three different options to explore Lake Titicaca, allowing travelers to choose the experience that best matches their expectations and budget.
1. Semi-Private Tour – Small Group Experience
Our recommended option – the best balance of authenticity, comfort, and value.
We work directly with local families on Amantaní Island to provide a more personal and intimate homestay experience. Travelers are welcomed in small groups, usually sharing the family home with only a few other guests. Depending on other reservations, your clients may sometimes be the only guests hosted by the family.
During their stay, they can enjoy authentic cultural activities, including making traditional bracelets, learning to grind quinoa flour using traditional methods, and visiting the Pachapapa temple. On some occasions, families also organize a small performance of traditional local music.
An optional guide or tour escort can accompany travelers from Puno throughout the two-day tour.
Visits to the Uros Floating Islands and Taquile Island remain shared with other travelers, while the more intimate experience takes place mainly on Amantaní Island.
2. Standard Group Tour – Up to 18 Travelers
A more budget-friendly alternative for travelers who prefer a traditional group experience. This option accommodates up to 18 people and includes visits to the Uros Floating Islands, Taquile Island, and Amantaní Island, with an overnight homestay with a local family.
3. Fully Private Tour – Private Group Experience
Ideal for families, friends, or private groups traveling together.
For travelers who prefer to enjoy Lake Titicaca exclusively with their own group, we can arrange a fully private two-day experience, including a private boat for both days. This option offers greater flexibility, privacy, and freedom to enjoy the journey at your own pace.
It can be particularly convenient and cost-effective for groups of several travelers sharing the cost of the private boat.
Please note that chartering a private boat for two days involves a higher overall cost. This option is available upon request and subject to availability.
