After a wonderful evening and breakfast with David and Flavia’s family, it was time to say our goodbyes and head to the Island Taquile. #family #amantani #laketiticaca #peru #adventure #vacation #anniversary (at Amantani Island, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/B30qnZ2neCO/?igshid=avmkirmf9bo1

After lunch we explored the island of Amantani. The ruins on the island are more ancient than the Inca and were made by the Pukara people. #amantani #island #pukara #ruins #exploring #peru #titicaca (at Amantani Island, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/B30ogUCH-x-/?igshid=eyvh51i8wrhe

Yesterday we set out onto Lake Titicaca. Our first stop was to the floating islands of Uros. There we met Maria the President of the island. She taught us about their culture, dressed us in their clothing and even sang us a song in three different languages. The reeds they use to build their islands also make their houses, provide food, fuel for fires, and build their boats. Amazing people with huge hearts! #uros #titicaca #peru #adventure #vacation #anniversary (at Lago Titicaca) https://www.instagram.com/p/B30neXuHU2J/?igshid=nlybadsjsler

Today we leave Cusco and our friend and tour guide Carlos on our way to the city of Puno. Carlos made Cusco feel like a home away from home. Until next time! #cusco #peru #vacation #travels (at Oropesa, Cusco, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uFJ5Hnsrx/?igshid=6u6nyf1plwbl
