Experience Aymara Culture with a Local Family on Lake Titicaca

Morning

Arrival, the sheep and the farm fields

You arrive at our home in Luquina Chico, we show you your private room, share a hot herbal tea and head out to the fields with the sheep, our donkey Bernardo, and to work in the farm fields depending on the season (sowing or harvesting).

Midday

Family lunch

We all eat together at the family table with what we harvest from our own land.

Afternoon

Rest, weaving and quinoa with my mum

An hour of rest to get used to the altitude. Then we sit in the courtyard with my mum Cefererina to learn how she weaves on the loom and how we wash and peel our home-grown quinoa.

Sunset

Walk up K'añicristo hill

We walk up K'añicristo hill to watch the sun go down over Lake Titicaca.

Night

Dinner, campfire and sleep

We have dinner together, light a campfire under the stars to chat quietly, and then rest in your room.

Morning

Breakfast facing the lake

Wake up to the lake view and enjoy a homemade breakfast with hot tea.

Mid-morning

The day's tasks with my mum

We head back to the farm fields and the animals, sharing the morning chores just like any normal day at home.

Midday

Farewell lunch

We have lunch together one last time before you pack your things.

Afternoon

Farewell and return

We say goodbye with a hug and arrange your return to Puno.
