Tuvimos un tiempo encantador! Manuel era nuestro guía de viaje y era tan informativo, sensible y amable.

Si te encanta tejer o textiles en general, te encantará conocer a todos estos increíbles artesanos, y te encantará aprender sobre el lago Titicaca. Si estás en Puno, y tienes tiempo, hazte un favor y reserva este viaje. ¡No te arrepentirás!
