    We did this tour with our kids and it was both educational and fun. The homestay was comfortable and the hosts were so warm. Our kids helped with cooking and even played football with local children! It was a beautiful cultural exchange and we all learned a lot.

    This tour helped me understand how strong the cultural roots are in Peru. Being welcomed into a family’s home on Amantani Island and learning about their customs was eye-opening. No hotel could ever replace that feeling of connection. The views over the lake at sunset were unforgettable.

  • Manny is the absolute best

    Manny is honestly the most amazing guide I have ever had. We did multiple trips with him travelling with a large group through Peru and it would not have been the same experience without him. He is funny and friendly and kind and looks after your every need. He thinks ahead and anticipates what we will need before we even know it ourselves so we were always comfortable. I got sick part way through the trip and he went over and above to take care of me. I could write a hundred examples of how we helped us and made sure we had the best experience possible. As soon as we are able to visit again we will book with Manny. You should absolutely book a trip with him!

    The journey by bus and boat was long but comfortable, and the guides were professional. The homestay was simple but cozy, and offered a real insight into daily life on the lake. Highly recommend if you want cultural immersion.
