2 Days on Lake Titicaca (Our Homestay Experience) | Puno, Peru

Lake Titicaca Peru is the biggest lake in all of South America and the highest navigable lake in the world, but it is also the root of much of Incan mythology! We're grateful to learn what life is like on Lake Titicaca by visiting the Uros Floating Islands, Amantani Island and Taquile Island.

/// ABOUT US ///
Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Peru. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around South America. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful and beautiful South America truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

During the first years of the Colonization of Peru by Spain, there were a group of people who were writers. They wrote everything they saw. Their name were Cronistas. There are registered information that they saw reed boat going from the Coast of Peru to Panama and viceversa

I’ve watched several SA videos but this one was the most unique. So grateful you shared it with us. I’ve wanted to go to Lake Titicaca since I did a report on it in fourth grade. Thinking about 2023 but your vid makes me want to go next year. Quite special.
