Amantaní

A great stop for a day or two. The island has walking paths which are easily accessible. Do make sure you have some level of fitness to be able to walk since it's not leveled and going uphill steep. The views in town but especially from the top are magnificent. People are very friendly as well.

A very special island with the most wonderful inhabitants. I stayed overnight with a host family that was very open and welcoming. The meals we’re prepared and offered with love. The trails on the island are very well maintained and easy to navigate. This stay was the highlight of my trip to Peru. Beautiful place.

Our 3 day stay in Amantani and Taquile back in 1992 was a journey within our journey around South America. On these islands life goes on day by day apart from the rest of the world. Homestay was allowed with firendly families. They couldn't speak spanish, but we mangaed to get to the essential needs for the day. It is peacfull, the views are stunning, so are the colours of the fields at sunset and early morning. You walk around, meet some locals going on with their duties and the day goes on. It is even possible to swim in Lake Titicaca, cold but possible. An amazing experience where the clock seem to have stopped for 3 days.

I did a home stay with local family for 1 night. We sing, we dance together. We enjoy the local meal! Especially at the night, you can see the beautiful milk way. There is almost zero light hazard.

I love this island in Puno, the tourism is totally different you stay with a local family there and learn about the culture and how is people leave . Is is really cold but worth it to go the view to titicaca lake it is just amazing 😉 no words to explain so much beauty.

Excellent stay. Excellent hike. excellent view's. Sure it was a wee bit touristy but a cold beer at the top of the island after a lovely hike is a great thing.

Amazing place to stay with local people and understand their life

Amantani island is famous for its touristic and ancient sites. Try the Pachatata Pachamama hike to enjoy the excellent view of lake Titicaca. We all enjoyed the homestay, the friendly locals and ancient ceremonial sites.

Island on Lake Titicaca, with beautiful scenery, very calm and very friendly people.

Native Quechua community where they keep 500 year old traditions. This island is also Vegetarian but the Quechua island near by, called Taquile eat meat. The island is made up of 10 communities and about 100 families. Women in each community wear a different color skirt to identify which community they are from . Leaders can only serve one tern in their life time, and serve 1 or 2 years. They have solar panals for light and to use a radio or charge a battery . Most of the island's residents have lived almost all there life on the island. It has beautiful scenery, to get to most houses, there are fields to cross, maybe a little creek and maybe some Inca stairs to climb. The families are very kind. The younger generation learns spanish in school and the older generation might or might not speak much spanish. It is a beautiful culture unique to this island. There are tours and home stays allowed.

We greatly enjoyed the homestay, the friendly locals and the short hike to the ancient ceremonial sites. Very touristic but easy to look past.

Amantani is a lovely little inhabited island on Lake Titticaca some three hours boat ride from the mainland. The lake incidentally is 3,855m. above sea level.

Wonderful place to go, for a really small price you can live in the house of one family there and have a nice company and food.
You just need to go and see ❤❤❤
100% recommended!

The homestay is a true cultural experience you won't find anywhere else!
