Straddling the Peruvian and Bolivian borders, Lake
Titicaca is the largest lake in South America and the highest navigable
anywhere in the world. Revered by the Incas, the brilliant blue waters
of the lake are home to a number of small island communities. Closest
to shore, the Uros Islands are constructed from reeds and actually float
on the water, making walking on the islands a surreal experience. Sail
further on to see both pre-Inca and Inca ruins on the traditional island
of Taquile. Accommodation is available on several of the islands, where
you can either choose to sample traditional rural life in a private house
or enjoy the peace and calm of a hotel on a private island.
Properties

colourful Andean terraces nearby. Explore the 104 acre island and look out for
one of four varieties of South American Camelids.

Synonymous with the Inca, the culture and heritage of both countries remains incredibly strong. Sail across Lake Titicaca or walk amongst ancient ruins in Peru’s Sacred Valley. Llamas are your constant land companion whilst high up condors circle above you.
