Paqarincama. That is the only Quechua word I know even so far, and that would not be enough to speak with the people of LLachon. Llachon is a Quechuan pretty little village community on the Peninsula of Capachica on the Lake Titicaca´s shore. Fortunately, most of the villagers spoke spanish too, so it was easier for me to ask directions while I walked to this village.
This corner on the lake is surrounded by isolated beaches such as Chifrón, Escallani, Chillora, and Ccollpa.
Even though I had to walk a couple of hours to reach this remote village, I did not suffer altitude sickness. The days were shiny, and the nights were not cold, as one would suppost due to the high altitude.
Llachon is the ideal place for kayakers who want to practice this sport in order to visit the nearby islands as well as for travelers who want to stay at local homes.
A stone arch at the entrance of a house means that you are about to come in to a family house. There are dozens of rustic lodges in Llachon. Most of them still have totora reed roofs…
…but there are a few houses with corrugated material.
You can overnight at one of these family homes. The views are just spectacular; you can even see the nearby island of Amantani only 11 km away.
The best lookout is atop the hill Auki Carus where there is also a pre-Inca archaeological site called Inca Cancha.
Some views from Llachon over the lake:
It is even possible to watch the Bolivia´s snowcapped Cordillera Real.
I lost a great chance to learn Quechua words here in Llachon, but now I realize that I should learn that language. But in the meantime, I tell you: Paqarincama which means “see you tomorrow”.

I recommend to visit the Lake from the alternative point: the Capachica Peninsula. Remember to stay at family home.
