A long peninsula extending into the lake from the northern shore, about an hour by road from Puno and a quieter alternative to the standard island circuit. The villages of Llachón, Ccotos, and Chifrón along the eastern edge of the peninsula run a network of community-based rural homestays, where families take in guests for one or two nights at a time.
The setting is striking — terraced fields running down to the lake, pre-Inca stone enclosures on the hillsides, no cars, and views across to the islands of Amantaní and Taquile. A typical visit involves a homestay night, a paddle-boat trip on the lake, and a hike along the peninsula. It is one of the most rewarding ways to experience life on this side of Titicaca, especially for travellers who find the standard tour-boat circuit too hurried.
