Puno Hotel: Titilaka

Ideally located on the remote and private peninsula of Chucuito on the western Peruvian coast of gorgeous Lake Titicaca, stands the Titilaka hotel. Approximately 50 miles (80 km) from the Juliaca Airport and 45 minutes from the city of Puno, this resort also offers easy access to the nearby Taquile and Amantani floating islands which are only a 20-minute boat ride away.

Description

The luxurious and eco-friendly resort Titilaka Inkaterra Hotel was recently opened in 2008 to the delight of travelers seeking the finest accommodation in Puno. The 30 year-old eco-adventure company Inkaterra, which is dedicated to sustainable tourism and endowing social development programs, is behind this exceptionally well-appointed hotel that allows guests to enjoy stunning views of Lake Titicaca from any location while taking advantage of the most luxurious amenities.

The interior décor beautifully combines contemporary architecture and design with touches of indigenous art and furniture that subtly reveal the themes of fire, air, water, and earth. Earth-toned plush sofas contrast with sleek wooden furnishings, while Puno-inspired sculptures, wall art, and textiles add a local touch to this chic resort.

Titilaka services guests with a choice of exciting excursions such as rowing around the totora reeds of Lake Titicaca and observing from up close the wonderful ecosystem that lives within these reeds. Also available are visits to the floating Uros islands.

Guests are also welcome to use the relaxing heated swimming pool or sauna, as well as the private massage therapy room where they can enjoy a soothing Andean stone massage.

After a long day of fun explorations of the Lake Titicaca region, guests will find in Titilaka a welcome respite where they will be served a creatively delicious lunch or dinner featuring fresh trout from the lake and a variety of grains and potatoes native to Peru. This can all be savored indoors or on the resort’s ample terrace that features breathtaking views of the vast Andean lake at any time of day.

Room Amenities

Rooms are divided between 12 Amanecer (dawn) and 6 Atardecer (dusk) suites, all offering a different but equally incredible panoramic view of Peru’s most famous lake. Each of the 18 suites available features a contemporary design while incorporating a few decorative elements that reflect the Peruvian Andean culture. The most modern conveniences such as a multi-purpose table, wireless Internet, and iPod dock station are available in the wonderfully-appointed rooms that meld this contemporary motif with elegant comfort.
