Amantani Island is not an easy island to visit briefly. Located centrally within Lake Titicaca at about 3,800 meters above sea level, the island follows its own schedule, based on planting cycles, visits from families, and walks to two hilltop temples, which have stood for ages and are seen all over the landscape. Tourists who only stay for a few hours on a usual day tour usually only have pictures of the floating islands to show for their experience. Those who commit to Amantani multi-day tours, spending at least one night with a host family, come away with something closer to an honest picture of how people actually live on the lake.
This guide outlines what makes a good Amantani multiple-day trip from an average one, highlights the best Amantani travel agencies who are reliable in organizing these tours, and addresses the queries that tourists raise before signing up for the tour.
