We were very touched by the host Joel who went out of the way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. You will be provided with everything you would need - boat transfer, tea bags and coca tea leaves, hot water, as well as dinner meals, local tour of Uros island oxygen tank upon request for a reasonable additional charge. The host also helped arrange transfer from Juliaca airport and to Punu station for an early morning train. I was concerned about having to figure out some of these myself but the host took care of everything for us through prompt communication before and during our stay.
The room is very tastefully furnished with local ethnic accents and is spacious for a whole family. You will get big, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, USB charging and floor-to-ceiling glass walls for an unobstructed view of the surrounding lake.

We were also very grateful upon our departure that the beautiful Luz had gifted us a hand crafted tapestry and two ornaments to remember them. If you are staying in Lake Titicaca,...
Read moreJust had 2 unique nights floating on Lake Titicaca! My family of four stayed in an amazing family room (2 double beds) on Joel and his family's island. If you want to be off grid in pure relaxation this is the ideal place. Sunrises and sunsets are the best I have ever seen. Joel picks you up from a small dock in Puno and drops you back again when its time to leave. Whilst staying with Joel he gave us a great boat trip out onto the big lake of Titicaca and we even did the school pick up with him, collecting his son and a couple of friends up from their floating school - if you want a truly unique experience then...
