About this experience
You don't come to watch a culture through glass: you come to share the table, the farm fields and the calm of Titicaca with Yonel and his mother Cefererina, in our home in the community of Luquina Chico, Chucuito Peninsula. In 24 hours you work the land with us, herd with Bernardo the donkey, climb to the K'añicristo viewpoint at sunset and sleep in a private room with lake views. Our most chosen experience by couples and solo travelers.

Comments
"A wonderful experience with a warm, lovely family"
"All the logistics with Yonel were perfect. The room and en-suite bathroom were spotless, with incredible views of Lake Titicaca, and so many sweet touches like the crochet decorations. Taking the sheep out to graze, planting potatoes, learning to crochet and cooking with Yonel and his mother was a unique experience. Thank you to Yonel, his mother and Barry and Rocky the dogs for such a lovely welcome!"
"Incredible"
"Our experience was simply wonderful! Yonel and his mom are very nice, the food very tasty and the room clean and comfortable! You live at the rhythm of the family, cutting corn and taking out the sheep. I recommend it 1000 times"
"Incredible experience."
