Lake Titicaca Community Homestay – 2D/1N
Experience the essence of Lake Titicaca through a short yet meaningful 2D/1N community homestay in the peaceful Aymara village of Luquina. Designed for travelers seeking authenticity over luxury, this experience offers a genuine look into local life, culture and traditions.
Your journey begins with a scenic boat ride across the deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Upon arrival, your host family welcomes you with warm hospitality and a traditional herbal tea. You will stay in a comfortable, family-run homestay overlooking the lake and surrounded by quiet Andean landscapes.
During your stay, you will take part in simple but enriching activities that reflect everyday Aymara life. Learn about traditional farming, try local dishes made with fresh ingredients such as quinoa and trout, and discover the meaning behind regional customs and clothing. A gentle walk to a nearby viewpoint rewards you with stunning sunset views over the lake.
Evenings in Luquina are peaceful and perfect for disconnecting. After a homemade dinner, your hosts may share stories about their traditions and the history of the community. With clear Andean skies, stargazing becomes an unforgettable moment.
The next morning, enjoy a beautiful sunrise, followed by a relaxed breakfast and a final walk around the village before returning to Puno by boat.
This tour is ideal for travelers looking for an authentic cultural experience, meaningful human connections and a tranquil escape on Lake Titicaca.
