You will be accommodated in basic yet typical rooms amidst the agricultural fields. The local family will provide you with all your meals. After lunch, the entire group will embark on a walk to the highest point of the island known as Pachatata temple, situated at an elevation of 4200m. This location offers stunning panoramic views of the sacred blue lake of the Incas, and it is an ideal spot for capturing photographs. Your tour guide will provide explanations and insights about the area.
Following the visit to the temple, we will return to the local homes for dinner. Later in the evening, you can enjoy traditional dances accompanied by local musicians. You will spend the night in the welcoming home of a local family.
