Overview
One of Latin America’s most iconic sites, Lake Titicaca straddles the border of Peru and Bolivia. At 3,821m it is the highest navigable lake in the world, a vast sheet of cobalt blue water, peppered with golden islands and peninsulas that are home to traditional indigenous communities. A holiday to Lake Titicaca offers you the chance to experience rich culture, history, wildlife and incomparable scenery.
According to legend, it was here in the sacred waters of Lake Titicaca that the Inca Sun God was born. The Cordillera Real, a regiment of snow-capped mountains, defines the lake’s borders on the far horizon. The lake area is surprisingly well populated, and the fertile soils on the shores support pretty adobe villages with fields stretching down to the water’s edge.
On the Peruvian side, close to the port of Puno, are the unique man-made reed islands of the Uros indians. The rugged, terraced islands of Amantani or Taquile, once lost in time, are home to communities that welcome visitors to observe their unique, traditional cultures.
