Sharing time with locals is the best way to learn about a culture, and these homestay tours provide the most immersive experience available. We work with operators who have close relationships with families that have preserved many of their customs and traditions and who are eager to share them with you. The highlight of these homestays is the opportunity to experience the hospitality of a local family, in addition to the standard tour activities. Moreover, you will not have to sacrifice comfort during your stay. We provide homestays in destinations throughout Latin America and Asia. In Peru, meet the Aymara people of Amantani Island, Sibayo villages, and Huilloc communities. And in Asia, join the Khmu ethnic group in Laos and the Tibetan village of Tagong. Let us know when you're ready to start planning your homestay!

Homestay Tours Travel Guide

What is the definition of homestay tourism?

'Homestay' is "the amount of time during which a guest resides with a local family. The purpose of the homestay program is to accommodate visitors with local families, allowing them to learn about the local way of life, culture, and environment, among other things.

Advantages of homestays over hotels
  • Authentic home-cooked meals
  • Cheaper alternative to hotels and offer superior experiences
  • Personalized services
  • Generates income for locals
Is homestay a good idea?

While it's certainly a wonderful way to see the world, there's something reassuring about staying with someone who knows the area well when you arrive. Sharing tales and experiences with new people and learning about a place from the perspective of locals are all benefits of a homestay.

 
What to expect from Adventure Life's Homestay Tours 
  • Meet the Aymara, a major tribe of South American Indians that inhabit the Altiplano, a huge, windswept plateau in Peru and Bolivia during your trip to Lake Titicaca. A homestay on Amantani Island is a unique opportunity to meet their families.  
  • Sibayo, an Andean community located in the area of Arequipa in Colca Canyon provides a rare and distinct cultural experience for travelers. Because of its one-story stone dwellings, Sibayo is also known as "Rumillacta," or "stone town." Visitors to Sibayo appreciate learning about the way of life of the inhabitants and participating in some of their everyday tasks.
  • Visit Huilloc, an Andean community located near Ollantaytambo. Comfortable eco-houses are available for overnight stays.
