Titilaka Comments

Cheryl Perleberg, Travel Specialists Inc .29/08/09

"Luxurious accommodations in a pristine setting. One night was far too short – but it was one of the best days of my life. I had asked Julio about the other optional excursions – the program sounds perfectly tailored. I spoke with several other guests on property, everyone loved their stay at Titilaka. It’s a true ‘find’ and will be easy to recommend. Food, service, location, education and amenities – you truly have it all. Thank you for this incredibly unique opportunity. "

TITILAKA LUXURY LATIN AMERICA


Sitting pretty on the border of Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is claimed to be the highest navigable lake in the world and a cradle of Incan civilization. After you've tackled the Incan Trail or toured Machu Picchu, there's no better place in Peru that Titlaka to relax and get away from it all.

Hotels in the Andean Highlands

TITILAKA

Traveling to Lake Titicaca is like seeing heaven with your own eyes. At over twelve hundred feet above sea level, the blue waters of the lake are of almost otherworldly purity, fusing along the horizon with pristine Andean Sky. We arrive at the city of Juliaca, where a comfortable 4x4 truck waits to take us to the hotel Titilaka . During the nearly two hour ride, we relax in our seats and enjoy the scenery. The altitude is not something to be taken lightly; soroche (altitude sickness) can bother visitors. The most efficient remedy is coca leaf tea, a concoction that is waiting for us in the truck. Arriving at the hotel is an unforgettable experience. Designed by celebrated Peruvian architect Jordi Puig, the building’s simple lines harmoniously combine native elements and state-of-the-art technology (the hotel uses radiant floor heating). The décor also bears the stamp of the local Aymara peoples. The skills of these age-old experts in the craft of weaving can be seen in the hand-woven rugs and hand embroidered cushions that lend the suites and lounges a truly original beauty. The food is yet another pleasure here. The menu is written daily on one of the dining room's beautiful Venetian mirrors. Using trout, alpaca, quinoa, totora, olluco and elderberry, among other ingredients from the region, the chef creates a magnificent New Andean cuisine. But the experience at Titilaka goes beyond the hotel and its breathtaking view. Guests can also participate in a range o f excursions and experiences, like taking a yacht to see the islands that dot the lake or having a picnic in a stone forest and visiting the unusual city of Lampa (where we found a replica of Michelangelo's Pietá, made from a mold taken from the original), all more than enough reason to include the hotel as an essential stop on your travel agenda.
