Lake Titicaca; the jewel of the Peruvian and Bolivian high plateaus, is the world’s highest navigable lake. It is situated in the Region of Puno, on the Peruvian side, at an altitude of 3,800 m.a.s.l. and it possesses many floating islands inhabited by Quechua and Aymara native populations.

It is an ecosystem which has a rich and varied fauna mainly composed of birds. There, are the floating Islands of the Uros, one of América’s most ancient peoples, dedicated to handicraft production, fishing and taxidermy.

Amantaní Island is also known as “Love’s Island”, as it is especially delightful and its population is composed of eight native Quechua communities which are mainly dedicated to handicraft, agriculture and animal raising activities.

They are great hosts and you can share their customs, live experiences and typical food. Their handicraft and textile art are very much appreciated, as well as their stone carving work, ceramics and other decorative or utilitarian items.
