Amantani Island (Isla Amantani)

Amantani Island, located on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca, has been communally owned since shortly after Peru’s independence from Spain. This island, less touristic than the nearby Uros and Taquile islands, continues to operate as a type of commune. Families here open their homes to travelers, offering overnight stays that provide a unique glimpse into the local way of life. Visitors can experience the tranquil and authentic atmosphere of the island, immersing themselves in the community’s traditions and daily routines.
