Casitas del Titicaca Peru

A unique overnight experience on Lake Titicaca. The family gave us a very warm welcome and we felt at home right from the start. The guided tour of the Uros islands by the family was very interesting and included in the price. We can really recommend it to anyone. One of the best experiences in Peru.

Everything was very good. The family was friendly and attentive. The rooms were large and modern but authentic at the same time.

The trip to the lodge and the view from our room was just amazing, such a unique stay! Eder was really interesting to talk to and explained all about the way of living on the islands, the history and current life. He was super accommodating, he took us back to town at 6 am for us to make our early bus departure. A stay here will be a highlight for anyone!

The location, the lodge, the food and the hospitality were absolutely fantastic! The lodge was located perfectly to admire the sunset, the food was also fresh and delicious and Edgar (the host) was always friendly and took us to amazing tours / activities.

It’s nothing bad, you just have to get used to the temperature (warm During the day and very cold in the evening, but we were given warm bottles of water before sleep)

It is by far the most unique and tranquil, serene accommodation I have ever stayed at. Perfect for winding down after intense days of trekking and exploring around Cusco. Great opportunity to learn about different ways of living, people of Uros and their culture. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, the views and location couldn’t be better. Food was homemade and delicious. Yes, it gets cold at night but the host makes sure you have everything you need to be warm. Bring layers and you’ll be more than fine. Would love to stay there again!

Very unique hosting with Eder and his family

The property is on one of the many floating islands in the Puno Bay, but one that has accomodation built into it to allow tourists to stay. As such it is a unique location to stay on the magical Lake Titicaca. Eder is an amazing host and all food is provided within the price, you will not go hungry. We stayed longer than most guests with three nights and we had the usual trips Eder provides to one of the nearly Uros islands and a fishing trip. Then on the last day, Eder arranged for us to tag onto a boat tour to the island of Taquile, all included in our payment- this gave us incredible value for money!

We knew the floating islands have dry compost toilets, it’s the way it is, but still a bit of a challenge. It’s worth it though for everything else. Lake Titicaca is very cold at night, but we had a heater which was adequate and lots of blankets for a warm sleep.

Amazing location.

Nothing.

The family is very caring, but they also give you your private space. It feels very special to be a part of their world for a short moment! Even though we had a reeeeally bad thunderstorm for one night and it got really cold, they put a little ethanol heater and it kept us cozy.

You are on a floating island, so you should be aware everything is a bit wonky and always under maintenance, but well kept!

Top experience in our Peru trip. The idea of sleeping in floating islands made of straw is unbelievable in itself but doing it in such a beautiful and comfortable way was just breathtaking. The host will personally take you on trips to the Uros community and explain all the intricacies of surviving and thriving in the community. The food is simple but delicious.
