Titilaka is a remote experience lodge on the shores of Lake Titicaca. The remodeled structure with its overwhelming views is the base from where unforgettable experiences take place. There are 18 fully-equipped lake-view rooms with outdoor wrap-around terraces, an overwater deck and boardwalks. Located on the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca on a tranquil private peninsula shared only with the local indigenous Aymara community.
