Homestays on Lake Titicaca

Our Unforgettable Experiences pages are written by Tribes clients. They tell us in their own words what they really felt about the things they did and places and people they met on their holidays with Tribes. Hopefully this will help you when it comes to trying to decide where to go and what to do.

We'd like to thank everyone who takes the trouble to write one of these Experience reviews for us. This is a new part of our website since February 2010, and we hope they will be added to quickly over the coming months.

I loved it but I'm not sure it would suit everyone. There is a danger that the families are a bit like circus performers. I felt that some of the visitors did not show sufficient respect for the fact that we were in their homes. One Italian couple sat in an island restaurant eating the picnic food they had brought. I wonder how this would go down in Rome.

Fantastic to see how people live, the Island is beautiful and the food was good which was a surprise to me when I saw how it was being cooked. We were made very welcome by the family and had a good time with them. To see that there are still communities living happily without water, plumbing and electricity was a cultural learning experience for us. A sad reminder of how materialistic and commercial we have become.

I think the time with the Titicaca locals is a fantastic initiative and my wife and I have decided to help the individual we stayed with in our own small way. Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime.
