Onto the water
... mamas'). Paulino leads us to his home (a hot, heart-rate lurching 20-minute uphill walk) with unbelievable views of the lake. We're shown to our room and brought lunch prepared by his wife - soup followed by local cheese that's very similar to halloumi, tomato and potato. After lunch and a short rest, we're back off up the hill to meet the rest of the group and walk up to one of the island's pre-Spanish temples, the Pacha Tata ...
