Yes, if I remember correctly it did get fairly cold at night. Not freezing, but cold at least compared to the days. It’s quite high altitude-wise and sometimes it was very windy near the lake. Still, the days were nice and warm! I can definitely recommend Felix and his kind family. You will be comfortable there if you stay in Llachon and he can assist you to find boats to some of the nearby islands.

Isla Taquille is also worth staying over for a night as well.

Have fun!

Thanks for the info. We are planning a trip to Lake Titicaca with 3 children in tow and thought to use Llachon as a base to explore some of the smaller islands. Was it freezing cold at night?

We made the Trek in November, so basically the beginning of the Rainy Season… Things were not too bad, some muddy sections and slippery rocks but nothing major. I would imagine it could be worse in February ater a few months of rain though. Still, the trail was surprisingly well laid out and kept-up so I’d imagine it would still be do-able with proper preparations.

Wonderful travel log!

Curious when you made this trek? We are in the middle of planning our own hike to Mach Picchu and are trying to figure out timing. I understand that February and March is the height of the rainy season and can make it difficult to navigate.

Cheers,
