FAQs
What entrance tickets are the ones we will use during the experience?
For this experience we will use the entrance tickets for Lake Titicaca itself, this is maintained in constant maintenance to ensure that the experience is as traditional and comfortable as possible.
How should I pack my luggage?
Being at a considerable height, the cold is imminent, so it is extremely important to wear warm clothes, even when the sun is high, we will feel the freezing cold. A hat is never too much and a scarf, if we carry a small backpack we can store it whenever necessary. Since we will stay in Amantani, we must also bring an additional change of clothes.
How many people participate in the service?
Regularly in our experience between 15 to 20 people participate, the group can naturally be smaller, however it is the average amount. We ensure that it is not so big with the intention that the experience is personalized.
