Tikawasi Homestay Comunidad Pueblo Isla Amantani José Luis

The meals were all homemade and delicious. Additionally we ate with the family, sharing stories and learning more about each others culture.

Nothing related to and from the homestay - getting to the island requires coordination with 3rd party agencies

Where to start… we had one of the most memorable stays ever with Jose Luis and Pilar. They are such kind, welcoming and warm people, who invite you into their home like it’s second nature to them. We loved sharing meals with them, playing cards, seeing and learning about the island, and laughing and chatting with them every day over the course of three days. Pilar even took us out to harvest some of the vegetables for lunch. Their home is situated in the perfect spot overlooking Lake Titicaca, only a few minutes’ walk from the town square should you need any supplies. The food was incredible, the stay was incredible, but most of all it’s their genuine hospitality that made our stay what it was. Do not hesitate to book a stay here - but please stay longer than one night to get the full experience. We did three nights and would have loved to have stayed longer.

Our only complaint was the hot water was quite patchy during our stay.

Não há pontuação suficiente para dar a esta família. Eu, que há meses que não vejo a minha, senti-me em casa pela primeira vez. O José, a Pilar, o pequeno Luís, podiam simplesmente fazer a sua vida sem querer saber de quem chega, mas a sua energia e hospitalidade são maiores do que qualquer mera passagem. A cozinha é o lugar sagrado da Pilar e é fácil saboreá-lo mais tarde: do pequeno almoço ao jantar, a sopa de quinoa, todos os ingredientes são plantados, tratados e colhidos pelos dois. Há um respeito pela terra, a pachamama, absoluto, e isso vem no sabor de tudo o que nos chega ao prato, nas gargalhadas da Pilar que enchem a casa inteira, e no olhar sempre atento do José. Fiquei uma noite em casa do José e outra em casa da sua mãe Fernanda. Ambas as casas acolhedoras, com todos os pormenores de quem sabe receber: os lençóis quentes, a água quentinha, o chá sempre na mesa, o cheirinho sempre bom em todo o lado. Há Wi-Fi, com bom sinal! E se soubesse tinha trazido o meu computador para ficar mais uns dias. Quem quiser aprender, a Pilar e o José têm todo o gosto em ensinar, quem não quiser, pode também só descansar, e aproveitar a calma do lugar. Não sei se há sítio no mundo especial como este, feito de pessoas boas como a Pilar, o José, a mãe Fernanda e o pequeno Luís.

An amazing stay at an island with natural beauty. The hosts Jose Luis and Pilar were so genuinely nice! Pilar's laughter and stories where the best! Our room was cozy and very clean with a huge bathroom. All the meals where delicious and organic, like fresh trout and sweet potatos, vegetable soups and a great breakfast. All and all, we should have stayed for more days!!!

Everything was great!

This is a very special accommodation run by Pilar and Jose Luis. The are the most wonderful hosts, so hospitable, charming and fun. The rooms are also super comfortable and the food is delicious. Highly recommend

We liked everything

José Luis was brilliant, organised our boat transfers from Puno, and picked us up from the port as soon as we arrived (on foot, there are no cars on the island!). As soon as we arrived we felt like part of the family. They made us feel so welcome at all times! José Luis explained the history and way of life of the island to us and Pilar made us amazing home-cooked meals with natural organic ingredients, taught us some Spanish and Quechua, and even dressed us in their own traditional clothes and took us to a local dance! We were even allowed to help with the cooking sometimes, and learned some of the secrets of the island’s cuisine. We were incredibly well taken care of, so much so that we were almost a bit emotional leaving! The island and the lake are also amazing natural resources, and are stunning to walk around and swim in. I would 100% recommend the hikes to Pachamama and Pachatata. Be sure to bring enough cash to the island, because it seemed difficult/impossible to access any ATM or cash exchange facilities once you leave Puno, and the island does almost exclusively operate on a cash basis! Overall, just a wonderful experience with a truly lovely family. I would 100% recommend this to absolutely anyone!

Very little not to like about this beautiful place!

Wszystko ekstra! Wszelkie udogodnienia zapewnione, czysto, okolica spokojna, cicha, piękny widok na jezioro Titicaca. Gospodarze przemili, śniadanie przepyszne!

Great hospitality of the family, very open approach, as they were inviting us to joint activities as cooking. Delicious food and very good English of Jose Luis, and very harming personality of his wife, which was huge advantage of this stay.

ホセルイスさんと、ピラールさんご家族にとても温かく迎えて頂きました。3泊しましたが、のんびりゆったり過ごすのにちょうど良かったです！ 部屋に暖房はありませんが、ベッドはとても温かく快適でした。シャワーのお湯も出ます。 私は料理が好きなので、毎晩ピラールさんの料理を手伝ってアンデス料理をたくさん教えてもらいました。ピラールさんのお料理はどれも素材の味を存分に感じられて、とても美味しかったです。 スペイン語がほとんどできなくても、英語を使ってくれたり、ゆっくり話してくれるので全く問題なかったです。ケチュア語も教えてくれたり、手作りの織物を見せてくれたり、アマンタニ島の文化を深く知ることができました。 最後には伝統的なコスチュームを着せて頂き、かわいいプレゼントも頂き、本当に素晴らしい滞在になりました。また今度は友人や家族を連れて戻って来たいです。

なし。全て完璧でした。

Jose Luis一家人非常友善、環境整潔、有熱水
