Amantani Homestay Tour from Puno with Uros and Taquile

The Amantani homestay tour from Puno is about spending time with the local Quechua population rather than only looking at the lake. The first day takes you from Puno to the floating islands of the Uros, then on to Amantani, where a family offers lunch in its own house. The services are basic: the homes are simple and comfortable, and there is no drinking water or electricity.

In the afternoon you walk to the highest points of Amantani Island, where the temples of Pacha Tata and Pacha Mama stand. From the viewpoint you take in the island and the vastness of Lake Titicaca, with a sunset to end the day. Dinner and the night are spent at the family's house, and the evening brings a peña, a party for visitors that lasts about an hour.

On the second day, after breakfast, the boat leaves Amantani for Taquile Island. You land at the northern port and walk up to the town and its main square. Lunch is on your own account, and then the boat returns to Puno.
