Kay Pacha Lodge

I don’t think I’ve ever had to think so hard about reviewing a place. But being back in bustling/hectic/insane Lima, brings words aplenty to describe Kay Pacha Lodge, “Paradise” “Heavenly” “ethereal,” these are just a few that come to mind. We stayed in the lodge/casita/room with the 360 view. Even now, words don’t come easily to describe just how majestic this place is. A part of me wants to say nothing, as if the place would remain just a secret escape for me, but Armando and his family are such wonderful people, they deserve the whole world to know about their lodge. Hopefully, it will remain unchanged for our next visit. Armando is wonderful and full of knowledge about the lake and its people. He takes great pride in sharing his knowledge about his ancestry and how they came to live on the lake. The food!!!!!! The food!!! Simple but delicious!! Everything was prepared with great care and I would love even dare say, love. Chef at 5* restaurants can only wish that their food would convey the emotions the food served by Armando (he’s the boat driver, tour guide, concierge and your waiter) had. No photos can do this place justice as the eyes are the only way to truly see it. Not even the best photographer with the best equipment could capture such beauty. Kay Pacha Lodge was the highlight of our visit to Peru and we will certainly come back!

We were absolutely blown away by the quality of the accommodations and the hospitality of Armando, the owner. On top of the tranquil setting, this place receives my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a unique setting for a stay while visiting Lake Titicaca.

We stayed here for three nights in March The days are incredibly hot and the nights seriously cold. The views are simply stunning. It was hard to tear yourself away The host, Armando is absolutely amazing - a mine of information and a real indigenous person. His son is the cutest little boy The wildlife is spectacular and the peace and quiet was way beyond expectation. The bed and alpaca blankets are 5* luxury, the room is perfect with 180 degree views. The rest is more basic but that’s what you go for…these are floating islands after all I can’t compare it to other lodges but would highly recommend this one for its location and host

Our family stayed two nights with Armando and Dania (and little Santiago!) in their beautiful lodge. This place is out of this world. Where else can you spend the night on a floating island on a picture perfect lake? Our room had panoramic windows to check both sunrise and sunset from the comfort of our room. It is such a relaxing and quiet place, where our family could take a rest from a very active holiday in Peru. Armando took us on a boat ride on the lake, to tell us all about life in this special location. Our kids were also keen to try Armando's kayaks, which was a lot of fun as well. Of course all sorts of excursions can be made from the lodge. Armando and Dania really care for you, and make you feel right at home. Food is delicious, although a bit too much for us :-) On the last night we played volleyball together with our hosts, with lots of laughs and amidst the gorgeous surroundings of the lake. We never heard of the "floating volleyball fields", until now! One last word for the amazing starlit sky at night, which is something we are not used to seeing in our home country. Really amazing. Falling asleep in the warm comfortable beds, looking at the stars through the glass roof was unique. We are so happy to have had the privilege to spend time here, we wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Merece la pena cada segundo que hemos pasado en Kay Pacha Lodge. El alojamiento es espectacular, totalmente acristalado para ver las vistas preciosas del lago Titicaca en cualquier momento. El amanecer y el atardecer son espectaculares. Teníamos velador, jacuzzi y King bed, y los hemos aprovechado al máximo. Además el personal y la familia que lo lleva es muy amable, atenta y servicial. Además la comida estaba muy rica y variada. Desde lo personal, nunca nos olvidaremos de los dos días que pasamos aquí, ojalá volver algún día.

La découverte d'une vie après avoir visité près de 110 pays ! Une expérience tout simplement EXTRA-ordinaire ! Armando et Saul sont d'un accueil et d'une gentillesse qui vous font découvrir l'âme de la culture des Uros. Les visites sur d'autres (des 120 îles), permet de bien découvrir leur mode de vie passé et encore présent. Le confort d'une Lodge est exceptionnel malgré les énormes contraintes écologiques. La restauration nous a agréablement surpris encore une fois dans des conditions de vie contraignantes. Une île flottante sur un lac, ce ne sont pas les conditions d'un hôtel au centre-ville ! Cela requiert une gestions rigoureuse, écologique et durable pour que les générations à venir puissent continuer à découvrir cette expérience d'inculturation unique au monde. Si possible, privilégier une séjour lorsque la lune n'est pas visble afin de pouvoir admirer la voie lactée de votre lit, à travers le plafond en partie vitré de la chambre. N'a pas aimé · Rien ! Tout commentaire négatif serait un total manque de respect pour l'incroyable travail effectué pour nous recevoir !
