Luxury Travel to Lake Titicaca, Bolivia

Travelers embarking on luxury tours of Lake Titicaca, the highest commercially navigable lake on earth and the merging point for more than 25 rivers, often remark on its vastness with awe. From certain points, the lake can appear endless, resembling a strangely calm ocean.

The lake is steeped in tradition and culture, and many legends are associated with it. For the Incas, for instance, Titicaca was a sacred site, the supposed birthplace of the first two Incas – Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo – who went on to found the Inca Empire.
