Recomendações

• Altitude Preparation: Puno and Lake Titicaca are at high altitude (3,800m / 12,500ft). We recommend spending at least one day in Puno to acclimatize before the tour.
• What to Bring: Warm clothing (layers are essential, as temperatures drop significantly at night), sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), comfortable walking shoes.
• Cash: The lodge does not accept credit cards. Bring cash (Peruvian Soles) for any extra expenses.
• Dietary Restrictions (CRITICAL): As noted, the lodge cannot accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free (Celiac), or severe allergy restrictions due to the remote location and traditional cooking methods.
• Ecological Bathrooms: The lodge utilizes ecological bathrooms (biodigesters). Guests must strictly follow instructions (no paper or trash in the toilet) to prevent damage to the system, which cannot be repaired on the same day.

Tirando suas dúvidas

How cold does it get at night on the lake?

Nights on the Altiplano are cold year-round, often dropping near freezing. While the lodges provide plenty of warm blankets, it is essential to bring warm pajamas, thick socks, and jackets for the evening and early morning.

What are the facilities like at the lodge?

The lodges offer a comfortable, authentic experience but are rustic by design. Rooms are private, but electricity may be limited (often solar-powered), and Wi-Fi is usually unavailable. Bathrooms are ecological (dry toilets). It’s an opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the environment.

I have dietary restrictions. Can they accommodate me?

Unfortunately, due to the remote nature and reliance on traditional local ingredients, the communities and lodges cannot guarantee meals free from specific allergens, nor can they accommodate vegan or gluten-free diets. Meals are typically hearty Andean staples.

Is the hiking on Taquile difficult?

The hike on Taquile involves a gradual ascent on stone pathways. While not technically difficult, the high altitude makes it feel more strenuous. We take it slow, allowing plenty of time to rest.
