Amalia Titicaca Lodge

“A ‘one off' experience but some hardships to endure”

This one‑off visit will stay with me for a long time: the three rooms sit on a floating reed bed in the Uros Islands group, though a bit farther from the main cluster that draws many day tourists. There’s a separate dining room linked by a wooden boardwalk and the owners’ accommodation. The setting is perfect for peace and quiet. Jose, the owner, brings you back to the local pier near Puno for onward travel and gives a short tour of Uros, explaining how the floating islands are built and the communities involved. Each room has its own pontoon that holds the main bedroom and en‑suite shower, a daybed facing the sunset, two loungers catching the afternoon sun, and a suspended first‑floor viewing platform. The room itself is very roomy, with sofa chairs at both front and back to enjoy sunrise and sunset. The only issue in the area is the extreme temperatures. October should have ended the cold, but our overnight stay saw temperatures drop well below zero. The room’s heater works until about 9 pm, and a portable gas heater that we struggled to start (the operator’s fault because it worked earlier when demonstrated) was fine for the evening but the morning was so cold that we had no water as all the pipes had frozen. It’s not the hotel’s fault, just something to be aware of.

“Eine einzigartige Location am See”

A unique lodge on Lake Titicaca for travelers who want something special and absolute peace by the lake; Juan was a great host and a wonderful person.

Juan was an incredible host. He picked us up from the pier in Kalapajra and explained the logistics clearly, and also arranged a taxi when we returned to the pier. Our room was huge, with a massive bed that was really comfortable and layered with blankets to keep us warm, plus gas heaters. There was another bed by floor‑to‑ceiling windows overlooking the lake, and an upstairs room with a bed and lake views plus a glass ceiling to watch the stars. The room also had a front balcony with a covered bed and chairs to view the lake, and a small pier at the back to see reeds and wildlife facing the opposite direction. The bathroom had a flushing toilet and a hot shower, both very clean. All three meals were included, with lunch and dinner offering three courses each. The food was delicious—some of the best we’ve had in Peru. Juan took us out on the lake on his traditional boat, explained how the islands are made and maintained, and talked more about the community and its heritage. He also took us to another island to learn about the local community and families living there. Thank you, Juan, for a wonderful stay and for sharing a small part of your community with us. This was a truly unique and special stay that we won’t forget. No complaints—everything was perfect.

The place is a true slice of calm on the shores of Titicaca, waking up each morning to a soothing silence and a stunning lake view—perfect for escaping routine and recharging. Cleanliness is flawless: rooms, bathrooms, and common areas are meticulously maintained, with fresh, fragrant linens. Order is evident everywhere; everything is kept tidy and arranged simply and functionally. From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm, making us feel expected with a smile, useful local tips, and great readiness for any need. The vibe feels like being guests at friends’ homes rather than a typical lodging. Staff are rare in their education and kindness, always respectful, attentive, and never intrusive. Highly recommended for those seeking authenticity, tranquility, and sincere hospitality; we’d return immediately! 🌿

“Un gioiello sul lago Titicaca”

Veramente un soggiorno lussuoso, una piccola chicca sul lago Titicaca. Tenuto molto bene, pasti ottimi, gentilezza.anche il giro tra le isole e la spiegazione è stato molto bello, in un'orario lontano dalla calca. Nulla, alcuni piccoli "disagi" come l'acqua che si ghiaccia alla mattina non dipendono certo dagli host.anzi, siamo stati avvisati e preparati al freddo intenso del periodo
