Si comme moi vous optez pour la visite de ces 3 îles et que vous avez envie de vous écarter des groupes touristiques, je vous recommande vivement de faire appel à Olga, une guide locale adorable parlant français. A part les trajets en bateaux en commun qui s'effectuent avec d'autres passagers, elle m'a fait visiter ces 3 îles en solo, et j'ai eu la chance de dormir avec elle chez sa mère sur l'île d'Amantani, ce qui restera une expérience mémorable. Nous avons visité le lendemain l'île de Taquile et c'était fort agréable d'avoir un peu d'autonomie et de ne pas avoir à suivre de groupe...
