As the descendants of the Tiahuanaco, Colla and Inca cultures, the communities that inhabit the shores and islands of Lake Titicaca constitute the living culture of Peru’s southeastern high plains. 

 

Visiting these communities is like going back in time, as one listens to extraordinary stories that bring history alive; it means being part of ancient customs and traditions that remain alive because they have been transmitted from one generation to the next. 

 

You can take part in agricultural work and Andean rituals; learn to make cheese or cook quinoa; enjoy boat trips on the lake or observe and interpret the stars… Taquile, Amantani, Anapia, Llachon, Luquina Chico, and many more… These remarkable communities safeguard great cultural treasures and the unforgettable experiences that await you. What are you waiting for?
