Casitas del Titicaca was a highlight of our month-long trip to Peru. Such a unique property! Eder and his family were exceptional hosts. We arrived to the port in Puno shortly after sunset. Eder met us at the port and navigated us to the island by moonlight—a magical start to our two-night stay.
We booked two spacious lodges, each with modern bathrooms, hot showers, and king beds. Each lodge also had outdoor beds and hammocks overlooking the lake. We had lovely weather while visiting and very much enjoyed relaxing in the sunshine while gazing out at the lake. Though nights were cold, the rooms had gas heaters to keep us cozy.
Meals, prepared by Eder’s mother, were simple and delicious. Breakfast was included. They accommodated our Celiac guest with great care.
On our first full day, Eder gave us a personalized tour of the Uros community, sharing his upbringing and showing us local islands, shops, and schools. His insights into life on a floating island made the experience truly special.
On our last day, he arranged a tour of Taquile Island. While we were off on that excursion, Eder delivered our luggage to our hotel in Puno—an incredibly thoughtful gesture that let us enjoy the day worry-free.
We highly recommend Casitas del Titicaca and would love to return!
