What are the options for a 2 day homestay tour of Lake Titicaca in September, 2020?
A:
Not sure, we stayed in a nice hotel by the shore of the lake with great views of the water. I'm not sure if there's homestay available, you can try Airbnb as well.
Has anyone stayed on both Isla Del Sol and a homestay on the Uros island? Which is better? I have time to do one homestay....

I'm not familiar with Homestays. However, I know that Taquile Island has home stay arrangements. That and others eg Amantani, Isla Del Sol, Isla de la Luna and Surique (latter three are Bolivian islands on the lake) are land (sand) islands. Uros on the other hand are floating islands made of reeds and personally, I would not want to sleep on one. You can easily do your research on the above &/or contact Peru Travel in Puno to get more details. Hope this helps.

It’s very rustic. May not be for everyone. I’m glad I did it for the once in a lifetime experience. But wasn’t necessarily the make or break of the trip. Yes language is a barrier. We Brought few food staples to the family as host gift. It was COLD - 4 or 5 blankets at night. But the baying of the family donkey at midnight was charm. No vehicles. Strictly hiking.. No running water so had to flush the toilet outside our hut with handy bucket of water. One lightbulb in our room=electricity. My daughter and I were glad we experienced this unique opportunity. But it’s not a requirement in experiencing the culture and Peruvian experience.
