FAQ's

Which meals are included?

Lunch and dinner on day 1 and breakfast on day 2, all with your host family on Amantani. Lunch on Taquile on day 2 is not included, so bring some cash in soles for it.

Are the island entrance fees included?

Yes, entrance to all three islands (Uros, Amantani and Taquile) is included in the price.

What is the night on Amantani like?

You stay in a local family's home, in a simple room with beds and thick hand-woven blankets, and a shared bathroom (you can see the room in the photos). In the afternoon you walk up to the Pachatata and Pachamama temples for sunset, and after dinner there is an evening of local dances where hosts lend you traditional clothes. Nights are cold all year, so bring warm layers.

What happens if the lake is closed because of the weather?

If the boats cannot go out, we reschedule the tour if your dates allow it, or refund you in full.
