Location

Set in Peru’s Puno region, near the Bolivian border, Titilaka offers unrivalled access to two South American countries. Situated at the edge of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable body of water in the world, the lake’s floating islands, made from totora reeds, have been home to the indigenous Uros communities since the 9th century AD. These islands reveal ceremonial temples, ancient agricultural terraces, and fascinating ruins, which historians believe to be the first in Incan civilisation. There are also a handful of small colonial towns around the lake, known for their astounding Baroque architecture and archaeological sites. The Andean peaks line the horizon, and the surrounding highlands offer some of the most beautiful hiking and mountain biking trails in Peru.

DESIGN

The lodge spreads over three levels, connected by wraparound terraces, an overwater deck, and wooden boardwalks. The outdoor lounge and dining areas are furnished with cushioned daybeds and low-slung couches, while the modern interior is tastefully designed with colourful Peruvian textiles and artworks. Each suite features an open-plan bathroom with a stand-alone bathtub, and magnificent views of the lake through walled windows. In the evenings, a bar is set up on the terrace, and the open-air restaurant is perfectly positioned over the water, giving the feeling of dining right on the lake itself.

ACTIVITIES

Lake safaris take you around the floating islands on a totora reed boat, visiting Uros communities and their vibrant artisan markets with a private guide. Paddle to the legendary Isla del Sol, believed to be the birthplace of Incan civilisation, and hike up a winding stone pathway, past Incan ruins and terraced hillsides. Cruise down the coastline in a sailing boat or go fishing with the locals casting a line for the lake’s brown and rainbow trout. Toast your adventures with a pisco sour around a campfire or tuck into a spread of Andean cuisine at the lodge’s lakeside restaurant. Peruvian chef María Fé García has curated a superb menu of Andean dishes with a contemporary twist, fusing signature bold flavours with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

SUSTAINABILITY

A sustainable ethos forms the foundation of Titilaka, in honor of its connection to the land, lake and local communities. Originally built using local materials, Titilaka has a greywater recycling system, and sources fresh produce, textiles, and ceramics from nearby villages. Local artisans are invited to hold crafting workshops at the lodge for guests to participate in, or there is the option to visit projects further afield, supporting grassroots initiatives that are establishing clean water systems strengthening internet access in the region and funding a teacher for the local school.

Why we love it

Titilaka truly shines as the most luxurious and immersive stay on Lake Titicaca, offering a unique cultural experience and direct access to one of the most historically rich landscapes in Peru. Its remote location, distinct heritage and deep-rooted connections to the area’s local communities ensure an authentic, tranquil stay in the birthplace of Incan civilisation.
