Titicaca Lake


Titicaca Lake is the highest navigable lake in the world and the largest lake in South America. It is located at 3810 meters above sea level on the border of Bolivia and Peru. With a maximum depth of 290 meters and with their clear waters.





A lot of culture, religion and traditions of the High Andean culture of the Incas can be observed. The traditional Aymara villages along the lakeshore, with the snow-topped peaks of the Cordillera Real in the background, provide a magical landscape.

Lake Titicaca holds large populations of water birds and was designated as a RAMSAR Site. Several threatened species such as the huge Titicaca Water Frog and the flightless Titicaca Grebe are largely or entirely restricted to the lake, and the Titicaca Orestias (endemic fish) has gone extinct due to competition and predation by various introduced species of trouts and silversides.


On the lake's southern side of the lake, Copacabana is a small town with an important religious past; it attracts many pilgrims not just from Bolivia and Peru.


 Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna, an experience that you cannot forget and where you are going to see the origins of the Inca culture together with an amazing landscape.
