Peru
Choose to stay on the shores of Lake Titicaca rather than in a downtown hotel in Puno. The hotels are inadequately built to cope with the noise from the taxi drivers horns or the disco booming away until 3am.
Man-made floating reed islands holding 5-6 huts each afloat the mighty Lake Titicaca - breathtaking. Amantani natural islands housing approx 1,000 residents - magnificent. Staying with an Amantani family, cooking with them, laughing with them, playing football with them, dancing with them - unmissable.
STA travel do some great tours around lake titicaca and islands.
The islands are around a two hour boat ride from Puna.
