Amantani is an island located on Lake Titicaca in Puno, where its residents take part in rural community tourism. However, travel agencies are the ones the most benefit from this activity by being an intermediary with the travelers. That is why we hope to have the population become active on the internet (blogs and social media) so that they can offer this touristic service directly.

Yda Elisa Ponce Vilca,
As tourleader I want to book a 2 day trip to the Islands (Uros, Amantani, Taquile) on 23 July and 24 July for around 14 people. I want to book in the way that the money goes to the people on the Islands and not to operators in Puno. How can I arrange that? Can you give me an advise.
Greetings,
Johan Bahlman
