WORLD’S HIGHEST NAVIGABLE LAKE
It’s a long climb to the world’s highest navigable lake – so make sure you’re staying at one of its foremost hotels, on the water’s edge.
The rewards for journeying up to 3,800 metres above sea level are impressive. When you arrive at Lake Titicaca you will be struck by its formidable beauty – its waters stretching away towards the horizon, leading to majestic lakeside mountains. But the natural wonders aren’t the only attractions.
The local people are equally picturesque in their traditional knitted costumes and characteristic hats, plying their large canoe-like boats made from the reeds surrounding the lake.
Make the Casa Andina Premium Puno part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Peru and you’ll be ideally placed to observe life on the lake, visit archaeological sites and local villages, and explore the thriving city of Puno.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
