Next, enjoy a 3-hour boat ride to Amantani Island and watch as local families run down the hill to greet you warmly. Meet your assigned local host family and learn about their culture and traditional experience. Enjoy a lunch prepared with local products and then interact with them until dinner time. After dinner, attend a festive show together with your host family and enjoy dancing and live music. The next day, very early, enjoy a delicious breakfast with your host family, then say goodbye to them in excitement and depart for Taquile Island, a high Andean Quechua-speaking community, located in the heart of Lake Titicaca.
