General information
This tour can be done by anyone who is well acclimatized since Lake Titicaca
is at an altitude of 3800m. Because of this altitude it can be freezing cold,
especially at night, but during daytime when the sun is shining it can be
pleasantly warm. At these altitudes and especially on the lake the UV rays of
the sun are extremely strong and sun protection is strongly recommended. Food
and accommodations are basic since they are provided by local families.
