Uros Aruma Uro

Our stay for 2 nights at Aruma Uro was really comfortable and relaxing. Juan and his family have done a great job at creating an unforgettable experience for the tourist. He welcomes you with a bonfire in the late afternoon and the room was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend.

We spent a night on Aruma Uro, it was a great experience, I would recommend it to all travelers. The food cooked on the island was terrific. The only negative thing is taking the Colectivo boat from Puno to the island, the boat captain will try to trick you into buying stuff from his island, will try to avoid taking you all the way to Aruma Uro, or will want you to pay extra for it. This is basically extortion, just resist it, at some point he will give in. This is unfortunate because it will turn people away from the island. I should file a complaint with the Peruvian tourist police..

We enjoyed staying at the island a lot. Even tho it was pretty cold, there were very thick blankets and the owners were nice enough to provide us hot-water bags without us asking. We felt like they were trying their best to make us enjoy our stay. However, it is quite a hassle to get to the island, which we ended up just booking their private pickup service which is $5(USD) per person per way. They waited for us at the bus station with a sign, our bus from Arequipa arrived 30 mins than usual and they were patient enough to wait for us without any complains. They even directed us to getting our bus tickets (which is in the same bus station) for the next day to La Paz. Since we went to the island directly, we ended up buying the $10 USD dinner on the island. We only ordered two dinners for the four of us since we were not very hungry. Surprisingly, the food was very good, and they didn't judge us for ordering so little between the four of us. The owners of the island were very friendly and you could really relax during your stay. I would recommend this "hotel" to any of my friends. Bear in mind that there are no wifi and the washrooms are outside, where you need to exit your room and walk outside.

We had a very lovely experience at the lodge - the location is increíble (secluded away from other accommodations, basically as far into the sea of reeds as one can get) with great 360 degree views, cozy rooms, excellent food, friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Unique fabulous experience. Highly recommended. One day only though. Sit atop the tower and down a cold beer. Dress up warm for the evening. Complementary hot water bottles st night to keep you warm.

Elsa et Juan ont été petits soins pour nous jusqu à nous apporter une bouillotte pour les soirées fraîches Les repas sont excellents ... Un séjour ressourçant au calme
