The lake, as it actually looks
Our own photographs of Lake Titicaca, all taken on our tours: the Uros islands, Taquile, Amantani, the Sillustani chullpas, kayaking and biking. Not one is stock.
We took every one of these on a real departure, with the passengers who were there that day. Filter by place and open any of them: each one leads to the tour where it was taken.

Where everything sits
The lake, to scale
Titicaca covers 8,500 km² and the border cuts it in two: the dashed line is the boundary with Bolivia, which really does run through the lake. We operate on the Peruvian half, the part sailed from the port of Puno. Hover a destination to see how far out it is.
