Hostal Qhana Pacha

Stunning location with expansive lake views, bit of a climb up but absolutely worth it. Great place to really switch off without WiFi or electric so you can be peaceful in the beautiful garden. Wonderfully caring family that look after the place and pretty flowers in the garden.

Divine place run by Francisco, Mary and family. I could see the Temple of the moon from my bedroom window.

E muito confortável e o Sr Francisco é uma pessoa incrível

I stayed here for 8 days between Christmas and New Years, and it was pure magic! Fransisco is such a knowledgeable man and clearly loves his home island, the history and folklore. He is a joy to listen to and learn from. Maria makes the most delicious, simple home cooked food, and is so warm and kind. The facilities are very simple, no wifi, solar power only, no showers, my toilet was in a separate room outside of the room I slept in each night. there is no flushing system, buckets of water are used. But trust me all of this simplicity is what makes Qhana Pacha so magical. Every morning I swam in the lake before breakfast and it was so refreshing. Sure, it's freezing but in place of a shower? Absolutely dreamy!! The views are stunning, to the right is Mount Iliampu, to the left you'll find Templo de la Luna. You can trek the perimeter of the island along the beach in around 2 hours. To the east (about 20 mins walk along the beach) you'll find a secluded beach, which I had all to myself on new years day - utter bliss! Walk past the temple, going up and over the hill to the other side of the island is another hike that'll take around 45 minutes, and of course at the top of the hill you can walk from one ed to the other in around 30 minutes. Most people stay for a night but I highly recommend treating yourself to much longer if you want a real retreat away from the rest of the world. You'll literally feel your nervous system calming down. Isla de la Luna is a beautiful place, and Fransisco and his family will take good care of you while you are there! Thank you Fransisco, Maria, Noemi, Aymarita and little luna for the most memorable 8 days! I can't wait visit again
