Lake Titicaca Homestay Tour: Uros, Taquile and Luquina
From €77 per person
See availability →This Lake Titicaca homestay tour pairs the Uros and Taquile islands with a night in Luquina Chico, where an Aymara family hosts you in a private lodge room over the water.
A Lake Titicaca homestay tour that does not stop at the sightseeing: over two days and one night you sail from Puno to the Uros floating islands and Taquile, then settle into the Aymara community of Luquina Chico, a quiet spot far from the crowds.
The speedboat first reaches the Uros, islands built by hand from totora reeds, where you hear how families live on them and keep their traditions going. Next comes Taquile, known for its weaving, with a walk around the island, its customs and a typical meal cooked by islanders.
In the afternoon a local family welcomes you in Luquina Chico and walks you to Titicaca Lodge, where you have a private room with lake view, a private bathroom and a hot-water, solar-powered supply. Depending on the season you can join the community in fishing, farming, cooking, weaving or a walk, then sit down to a home-cooked Andean dinner of local produce. The next morning begins with breakfast overlooking the lake and one last local activity before the return to Puno.
