Homestay Experiences

Throughout the years we’ve spent arranging personalized travel to Peru, it has become evident that connecting with locals is often a highlight of many travelers’ trips, which is why we are more than happy to arrange it. And for those who want to experience an authentic taster of island life during private tours to Lake Titicaca, the Taquile and Amantaní islanders will open up their doors.

If you had envisioned a Lake Titicaca luxury travel experience with high-thread count sheets and room service, homestays on the islands may not be for you. Accommodations on both islands are simple and basic, though you will be assigned your own clean, designated room.

What you will experience, however, is an authentic taster of island life: share traditional meals, which will often include Peruvian staples such as quinoa, rice and potatoes, with your host family; and perhaps attend a community center party, where you can mix and mingle with other local host families and visitors, as well as watch traditional music and dancing.

What the homestay may lack in luxuries, it more than makes up for in atmosphere and overall experience. You’ll forge a bond with your hosts, create lasting memories and get an inside look at the lifestyle of people whose culture couldn’t be more different to your own. What’s not to love?
