1. What kind of gifts should we take to the family that we will be staying with on the Island of Amantani? Should we bring pencils, crayons, etc. for the children? What else?
Pencils, coloring books & crayons are great. The kids really appreciate simple things. Most important to them though are staple foods-a nice surprise would be sweets, granolas or cookies- even fruits & vegetables (which don’t grow on the island). Postcards from your home town are all warmly welcomed. Careful not to be over generous because then the locals grow to depend on the fluctuating generosity of tourists (not all of whom are as generous as you may be).
