Peru Luxury Travel

Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, has a unique millennium-old culture of lake dwellers who construct their homes upon artificial islands made of reeds. You will be taken by boat (which provides the opportunity to enjoy the view of the majestic mountains surrounding Lake Titicaca) to visit this unique attraction and its people whose basic way of life has not changed since the time of the Incas. This tour offers the unique combination of enjoying the beauty of Lake Titicaca and staying at some of the most comfortable lodges in the region. We strongly recommend that you take the world-famous Cuzco - Puno train, as well, so you may marvel at the beauty of the lake as seen from the mountains. This is an excellent opportunity to visit and engage in an immersive adventure at one of Peru’s most beautiful locales.
