Miscellaneous: If you're going to stay on Amantani Island for a night or more...REMEMBER to take a torch! The locals like to take you out to a fiesta at night but this place does not have any electricity or 'mod-cons'! There is NO WHERE to buy a torch. If you forget then you will rely on someone with a torch to get to and from your accomodation! When they are used to the altitude they walk really fast...making it a struggle to keep up if you're not used to high altitudes!
Trust me... a torch can make the stay a lot easier!
