Overnight in a rural family runned B&B on the island. To go from Taquile's pier to the B&B, where you will stay, you have to walk a bit to overcome a height difference of about 150 mt. The walk itself is not difficult except for the altitude which is around 4000 masl. This tour includes an overnight in a very simple B&B with external WC. It is important to have a little adaptability. Peruresponsabile.com is managing, on the island, a project called "Yachay Ñan".
