Travelers on a budget looking to experience a place like a local will enjoy homestays. These simple accommodations are in a private home, where the host also lives. All facilities are shared and in most cases breakfast is included.
Everything was amazing.
If you happen to go to Titicaca, don’t overthink and go to this place. Jose Luis & his wife are amazingly kind. Food is amazing. The room is big, clean & modern. Extremely calm & peaceful. Super walk on the island with amazing views. We have been super lucky and were here during a kind of Carnaval (18th February) and participated to a huge day-party with all the locals. Best memory in Peru.
Friendly welcoming family, big food portions and very tasty. Bedroom very comfortable and bathrooms also very clean. Jose Luis spoke English which was very helpful. Authentic homestay experience, gave us traditional clothes for the dance in the evening and they brought and danced with us.
José Luis and Pilar are great hosts. We spent a wonderful night in their home on Amantani island. Their home is very nice and has a superb view over Titikaka lake. Pilar is an amazing cook and we had a chance to taste her delicious dishes. José Luis and Pilar, thank you very much for the pleasant stay. We truly recommend their company during your stay on Amantani island.
Richar and his family are lovely, warm, hospitable, and do not try to sell you anything. You simply spend a day with them in the course of their normal lives. Other homestays on the island shlep you around to do touristy things, though I hear they're fun too sometimes. Ocosuyo is on the quiet side of the island, and it is truly beautiful there. My only regret is not staying longer. The food is delicious and the room is brand new with an incredible view of the lake. Highly recommend.
typical stay plus all comfort
very welcoming and helpful host family
amazing local food
nice sitting area with lake view
hot shower and cozy heated room
in a small village outside from the main center which is too touristy
worth staying more then one just night
We can not recommend enough Jose Luis and his family! We went on Amantani with a tour boat but didn't want to do the regular homestay as all the tourist do, so instead we booked Tikawasi. The best decision ever! The family immediatelly accepted us as one of their own. The location is very calm and magic, beautiful terrace for sunset watching. Rooms are brand new and beds very cozy. We are thankful to the family to make our stay in Amantani so memorable.
