The birthplace of the sun God, and a completely awe-striking natural wonder, Lake Titicaca is a destination rich in culture, history, and so much more. Come visit this Peru Bucket List location to see why the ancient Inca culture held this place in such high regard.
Sprawling across the border of Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world. Its deep, dark blue waters are home to 36 islands and native communities that live their traditions every day. The experience of visiting Lake Titicaca gives new meaning to immersing yourself in the culture of Peru. Puno, the city curved along the shores, is proudly deemed the Folkloric Capital of Peru for its wealth of cultural and artistic expression. Additionally, the festival Virgin de la Candelaria, a time of epic celebration in Puno, as well as Taquile Island, a vibrant spot in the lake known for its weaving traditions, have both been recognized by UNESCO as the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Lake Titicaca itself is a jaw-dropping sight. Often compared to an ocean because you cannot see from one shore to another, the uniquely large lake is surrounded by mountains and characterized by floating reed islands that the locals call home. The Peruvians here are kind, friendly, and always looking for a good time, which makes this destination a definite destination for your Bucket List.
