Spectacular view of Lake Titicaca in Peru ✨🇵🇪 Loc Spectacular view of Lake Titicaca in Peru ✨🇵🇪

Located at 3,812 m or 12,506 ft above sea level, Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world and the second largest lake in South America. Man-made islands and ancient ruins are part of Titicaca’s mystique, and the region’s deep, rich collection of cultures has turned it into one of Peru’s most exciting destinations.

I published on my YouTube a video with full tour o I published on my YouTube a video with full tour of Titilaka Lodge, the only 5-star hotel on the shores of Peru’s Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Swipe left for a preview.

The mere mention of Lake Titicaca is enough to conjure up a dramatic, mysterious world. At an altitude of 3,812 meters (12,507ft) in the Andes, on the border between Peru and Bolivia, this cradle of Inca civilization is still home to one of the oldest communities in South America.

Titilaka Lodge – Relais & Châteaux retreat – is tucked away in this unique landscape, totally off the beaten track on its own private peninsula, in a refurbished building. The rooms, each with a splendid lake view, are decorated in a contemporary style with touches of local heritage, in symbiosis with the luxuriant natural setting. Go beyond the magic of the lake and venture through ancient trails, acquaint yourself with traditional communities, and explore the Uros Floating Islands as part of the complimentary excursions.

Have you ever stayed at Titilaka? IF so, what was your experience? Leave a comment.

Peru’s Colca Canyon is one of the deepest canyons Peru’s Colca Canyon is one of the deepest canyons in the world, reaching a maximum depth of around 3,400 meters (11,150 feet) from the rim of the Canyon to the bottom of the valley (twice the depth of the Grand Canyon). The main draw of the Canyon are its viewpoints, scenic hikes and hot springs.
