The lodge’s Fully Inclusive Service includes all meals, created by Peruvian chef María Fé García, and more than a dozen complimentary, highly flexible itineraries led by our bilingual local expert guides. Our unique experiences give guests the opportunity to learn about the region’s distinctive nature, history, and culture. All services at Titilaka are fully inclusive and can be enjoyed in private or on a shared basis.
Aymara route
- The full-day Aymara Route excursion offers a deep immersion into the geography, nature, and breathtaking vistas of Acora and the Chucuito Peninsula. Journey back to the pre-Incan era as your guide shares captivating legends and stories, revealing Lake Titicaca’s significance in the local worldview and its role as a vital resource.
Molloco & Aramu Muru
- Your journey begins at Molloco, an archaeological site that beautifully showcases a fusion of Inca and Lupaca cultures. Afterward, a short drive brings you to the mystical Aramu Muru, also known as the Wilka Uta portal, a sacred pre-Incan site renowned for its striking rock formations.
Nautical sports
- As the first nautical sports facility on Lake Titicaca, our boat house gives you the exclusive opportunity to sail at more than 12,000 feet (around 3,800 metres) above sea level. Choose among kayaks, Canadian canoes, paddle boards, and sunfish sailboats or try them all as you explore this wonderful body of water. Experienced Titilaka instructors will look over your safety and explain navigation procedures before you begin your nautical journey. Explore the lake at your own pace while enjoying its serenity and silence. Discover the nearby ecosystems among the shores and Totora reeds to observe local wildlife and plants. Don’t miss the views of the lodge as you make your way back. Once there, enjoy some snacks and refreshing beverages on our outdoor terrace.
Sillustani
- The region’s largest and most important pre-Hispanic funeral ground, the archaeological complex of Sillustani is a testament to the area’s rich past and gives you a breathtaking view of Lake Umayo at the same time. Host to a number of chullpas, or ancient funerary tower-like structures, and built exclusively to house the remains of nobles and distinguished individuals, Sillustani is among the best-kept archaeological sites in the area.
Birdwatching
- Accompanied by our specialised guides, you'll learn to detect, identify, and even mimic bird songs as you attempt to connect with Lake Titicaca's native species. You'll visit different ecosystems to spot a wide range of local birds, but will focus especially on the protected wetland area near the lodge. As a member of the RAMSAR Convention on wildlife, this neighbouring protected site is home to 103 species of different migratory and residential birds, several of which can only be found in this area.
Local festivities
- Known as the Peruvian Capital of Folklore, Lake Titicaca hosts some of the country’s most renowned traditional festivals. Among the most celebrated and popular is the Virgin of la Candelaria, declared Intangible and Cultural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO and showcasing over 360 pre- and post-colonial dances. This festival is held each February and draws around 40,000 visitors from around the world. Storming Puno’s streets with vibrant dances and lively traditional wear made solely for the celebration, the Virgin of la Candelaria is the region’s most representative celebration. Titilaka has identified 12 local celebrations near the lodge and if your stay with us coincides with one of them, our guides will gladly assist you to go and experience them. Very few travellers have had the chance to experience these typical Peruvian traditions, making it one of the most special experiences we offer.
