LLACHON SANTA MARIA - EXPLORE LAGO TITICACA

Local Home Service:
Here the idea for lodging is simple.	The visitor occupies a room in the heart of the home and has the possibility of sharing some of the family’s costumes and thus have better contact with the inhabitants of the lake. The association is in charge of a good and fair distribution of visitors in the homes. The association has agreed that each family has the obligation of lodging only two passengers in their home. The houses are simple, warm and pleasant and have simple bathrooms with sceptic toilet holes and a wash basin. In the morning, breakfast is taken in the same home surrounded by the beautiful site over Lake Titicaca.

Each lodging sector has a dinning room - restaurant where visitors may get together. They are manager by a family or a Mothers’ Club depending on the sector where the passenger is lodged.
