Llachón, Capachica Peninsula
Llachón
An agricultural and herding village at the tip of the Capachica Peninsula. It offers homestays, reed boat rides and hikes with lake views. It is quieter and more unspoiled than the lake islands.
Llachón lies at the eastern tip of the Capachica Peninsula, which juts into Lake Titicaca. It is one of Peru's earliest community tourism villages. Villagers run homestays and offer experiences such as farming, herding sheep, weaving and boating. From the small hill above the village, you can see both Taquile Island and Amantaní Island. From Puno it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours by bus via Capachica town, and some boat tours also stop here. You can choose it as an alternative to Amantaní Island for an overnight stay. Facilities are simple, so bring cash and warm clothing.
