Travelers everywhere dream of reaching Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. Here, on the remote Andean altiplano between Peru and Bolivia, living history converges with a dramatic landscape. Aymara and Quechua cultures continue quietly as they have for centuries, in tiny villages scattered around the lake.

Near one of these idyllic hamlets, on a peninsula at Chucuito on the Lake Titicaca’s western Peruvian shore, Inkaterra has created Titilaka. Now travelers have the unique opportunity to sail across the highest navigable lake in the world on the hotel's very own sailboat.

Resting at 12,535 feet above sea level, Lake Titicaca provides the perfect sailing experience amidst the beautiful plateaus of the Central Andes. The sailboat, which seats a maximum of six people, was brought by road from Callao Sea Port to Puno where it sailed to the Titilaka Hotel.

Located in the high plateaus of the Central Andes between Peru and Bolivia, Titilaka Resort features 18 fully serviced Lake View Suites complete with spa bathrooms and heated floors, and the choice between 14 different travel excursions.
