                              Edwin who is in the responsable  of the circuits in Pablo tour, after visiting Titicaca lake over 200 times as a  tour guide for European travel agencies, Hi think traveling in large groups has  more disadvantages than advantages:  1.-Most local tour operators in Puno to  complete the number of people in the boat join or pool their clients from different  travel agencies  therefore is not a personalized tour. 2.-On arrival in the different  islands of Amantani or Taquile have to walk between 3800 and 4000 meters high,  is clear that this trek uphill does not take more than an hour and a half. The  act of walking in large groups makes people lose the explanation is that the  guide does. In large groups visitors  can`t walk at your own pace.  3.-If you try to go faster so you  will hear all the explanations after easier  you will have height  problems, such as headache, vomiting, shortness of breath ....  4.-boat sometimes used by large  groups suffers from overload and thus causing a problem in the engine power  capacity and finally is spoiled.
 5.-with a boatload is difficult  to make good photos during the boat ride. 6.- If you want to stay a little  longer at a certain place they liked and thus enjoy the beautiful view, you  can´t do it because you must follow the majority of the group between 25-30  tourists.
