On Amantani Island time seems to have stopped to calmly contemplate the farming activities of these islanders, the heirs to the legacy of their Aymara ancestors.
There is just one boutique hotel on this island, but local people have fitted out their houses to receive overnight guests, so travelers can spend the next day enjoying the fields bordered with eucalyptus trees and filled with the typical cantuta flowers of Lake Titicaca.
With its beautiful, musical name, Amantaní invites visitors to relax and disconnect themselves from the outside world.
