Lake Titicaca Holidays

A shimmering deep blue lake, surrounded by mountains and dotted with tiny islands, Lake Titicaca is truly breathtaking. Set high in the Andes, straddling the borders of Bolivia and Peru, this is the largest and most well-known lake in South America.

Many of the Lake Titicaca’s hotels are in Puno, a city that lies on the Peruvian banks of the lake, connected by road or by rail. Here, visitors can learn about local indigenous cultures on Peru’s Taquile and Uros Islands. The luxurious Belmond Andean Explorer, the only high-end sleeper service in South America connects Puno with Arequipa and Cusco, while the elegant Perurail Titicaca train offers a day journey from Arequipa to Lake Titicaca.

Approaching the lake from La Paz, Bolivia, the nearest town on the lake is Huatajata which boasts a stunning location. From here, cruise to the beautiful Isla del Sol (Sun Island) for spectacular views, historical ruins and great hikes. We recommend staying overnight to fully enjoy the area’s tranquillity.

Trailfinders offers a range of Lake Titicaca holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to travel through Peru on a luxury train, take a once in a lifetime private touring holiday in Bolivia or join an action-packed adventure filled small group tour - they are the perfect people to ask.
