Unusual camping experience on a floating island on Lake Titicaca
Half an hour by boat from the city of Puno
Yoga, kayaking and wild swimming on site; island tours available

Now for something completely different. It’s not every day you get to camp on a floating island, but here’s your chance, for Tamaya Titicaca Camping is set on one of the Uros Islands, floating gently on the calm waters of Lake Titicaca near the border between Bolivia and Peru. Created by tying together totora reeds in the shallow waters of the lake, these artificial islets are the traditional homes of the Uru people as well as the main sightseeing attractions around the waterside city of Puno – the gateway to your watery adventure. Accessed by kayak (guests are provided with a free kayak to paddle themselves) from Puno in half an hour, Tamaya Titicaca is a quiet spot for meditating, yoga sessions and wild swimming in the lake – as well as admiring the colourful sunrises and sunsets. The owners of the site are happy to organise kayaking and fishing expeditions as well as tours to other islands (for an extra charge), and will happily take time to explain the structure of their islands and give insights into Uru heritage. Generally speaking, facilities here are fairly basic, but meals are available for an extra charge, and you will have access to a hot shower in a private bathroom. In all, it's a pretty good way to immerse yourself in the experience of the highly unusual culture of the Uru people and their floating homes.

Local attractions

It’s not just human-built islets that are found on Lake Titicaca. Take a boat trip out to the natural island of Taquile (one and a half hours by speedboat from Puno) to see its inhabitants dressed in brightly coloured traditional costume as they weave traditional patterned fabrics that make unusual souvenirs. Head for arid Amantaní Island (three hours by boat from Puno) to clamber up steep terraces to the peaks of Pachatata and Pachamama; from there you have impressive views across the lake. You can also get out on the water to join fishing expeditions alongside the locals. Back on dry land, life in the lakeside city of Puno (half an hour by boat from Tamaya Titicaca Camping) drifts around the lively Plaza de Armas, overlooked by a twin-spired Baroque-style cathedral. The hilltop Cerrito de Huajsapata (a demanding 15-minute walk from central plaza) celebrates the life of an Inca hero; catch your breath and admire the views over Puno while you’re up there. Back down in the city, lively Jiron Lima is the main pedestrianised street, lined with craft stores, cafés and restaurants.
