Although this once tranquil fishing hamlet is now a popular destination on Peru's 'Gringo Trail', it has clung proudly to its fishing roots. These narrow boats, made from the same reeds used by the Uros in the Lake Titicaca region, are still in use today.

They're known as 'Caballitos de Tortora', meaning "little horses" because of the way they are 'ridden' by the fishermen who use them.

If you wake up early enough (and I mean early; these fishermen are already casting their bait before the sun rises) you can witness an age old tradition in practice.

"We had a great stay at Casa Andina Premium. We came tired from the airport after a long international trip and the check in was smooth. Room was clean, great breakfast buffet, excellent service overall. I had originally requested a shower chair, although they didn’t have it ready by the time of our check in, they were able to find us a chair. Receptionist, and all staff were very attentive and approachable. We will definitely be returning and recommending this hotel to my family and friends. Muchas gracias! "
