A beautiful and imposing peak seen from La Paz. The standard route to the summit starts from the road (“base camp”) to “high camp” (Nido de los Condores) - A beautiful spot with stunning views of the peaks and glaciers of Illimani, as well as the surrounding valleys. Can also see Huayna Potosi, Sajama and Parinacota mountains in the distance. Snow/ice covered for the tents. Takes about 3-4 hours from the end of the road (“base camp”) to get high camp. Initially it’s a gently rising gravel path, but about half way becomes a fair bit steeper as you ascend and follow the ridge - some scree slopes, and some low-grade scrambling in places. From high camp to summit it’s a fairly steep glacier traverse (significantly more so than Huayna Potosi), and whilst there was no ice climbing per se there was one section whilst crossing a crevasse on a steep slope that required similar techniques. A challenging but beautiful summit with amazing views of surrounding peaks and valleys!

El Illimani es más alto que la montaña más alta de Europa xDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxD

An incredible sight viewing coming down from ciudad del Alto to La Paz. It is majestic over the city.

My helicopter experience was EXACTLY like Ghost Recon Wildlands... I deaded many many times... 10/10

If you wanna know this place I highly recommend "Illimani treks" Should check it on Facebook if you want pictures and stuff

Winter sunset over the snowy Illimani mountain, (6460 mts high, Cordillera Real)

Snowed peaks are always special, this one is spectacular!!

Magical place, you take a tour from the city of la paz its 40 to 45 mins either reserve a tour from city center or feel free to take a car by yourself, also thete are buses go there from the city center, amazing rocks formation, you can literally do a 15 or 45 mins hike level really simple and easy and safe, even for children between 7-10 years old Nice to take also fun pictures Really recommended if you are around la paz Take with you sunscreen, bottle of water and maybe a hat to protect from the sun And enjoy the beauty of the nature, PS: it looks like Ciudad Roma if you did the 5 days tour in Uyni, but smaller!

Don’t even think of not going! The geological site is extremely beautiful with breath taking views! It’s a STOP that you need to visit while in La Paz!

Nice park but not great for cycling. We are around sixty years old and found it too hilly to bike.

I visited Moon valley with a tour group in October 2025. Moon valley has sandstones and clay rich columnar structures and located in the lowest altitude of La Paz. As explained by our tour guide Milena, the origin of name is related to the astronaut Neil Amstrong. He saw a shiny patch on earth from moon and decided to visit the place once he arrived on earth. So that brought him to salt marshes in Bolivia. During the visit he arrived at La Paz valley and noted the present moon valley area. So he called out that it looks like in moon and so came the name Moon Valley 😊 Many foreigners and rich people and those having high blood pressure problems selected moon valley area as their residence because of favorable climatic conditions there. Also altitude sickness is not a big issue in this part. It’s very touristic and well managed by the government. But I still prefer the Animas Valley, which is not very accessible and having less facilities for tourists over Moon Valley 😊

This place is quite interesting yet a bit bland. Please consider to partner with Sony Pictures Entertainment to get the copyright of Starship Troopers. This place is perfect to be a Starship Troopers theme park. I have so many ideas for it, which not necessarily involves high-tech stuffs.

Interesting place to see, different kind of landscape but don't expect any world wonders. Park is pretty run down and in need of maintenance with holes in the paths and broken bridges.

After reading the reviews, I nearly was discouraged not to go. Some complain of this or that, look take a Trufi(local transport) which will leave you right at the entrance of it for BS3.8 one way and the same to return to downtown La Paz. Thus it is an amazing place. Sit down, take in the sights and enjoy. BS20 to get in, thus 28 Bolivianos at the most it’ll be what it’ll ran you. About $2.05 if that. Water and sunscreen if ya worry about the sun. From La Paz to here it’ll be a tad bit warmer because you’ll be coming down a bit lower than the 3600ish altitude!

Great viewpoint for shots of the city. I'm not sure how safe the wall back would be at night, but getting there during the day was not an issue and I was able to take Uber back down. It is not a long walk to get to the viewpoint, but there is a fair elevation gain so if you have not acclimated yet you may want to consider having a car drop you off.

Lovely mirador with a 360° view over La Paz. Resting area too so you can rest a little after climbing there and have a glance on the city. Definitely worth it!

Things to Keep in Mind The climb up is quite steep; given La Paz’s high altitude, taking a taxi or cable car part-way may be wise if you aren’t acclimatised. Mirador Killi Killi is one of the best lookout points in La Paz. The view of the city and surrounding Andes is breathtaking. We took a taxi up to avoid the steep climb, arrived around sunset and stayed until dusk — the city lights and colors of the sky were unforgettable. Bring a jacket and water, and allow about 30-45 minutes to take it all in. Highly recommended for a short stop while exploring La Paz. “Killi Killi” comes from a small bird of prey (falco sparverius) that once inhabited the area. The site served as a vantage and control point during the 1781 siege of La Paz by indigenous leader Tupac Katari.

Astonishing! Take a Trufi up there or walk it up, either way, a well kept and beautiful sighting of La Paz at nearly 360° all around. Enjoy!

A big walk straight up to get to the Mirrador but unreal views once you get there. A bunch of benches to sit on, a quiet chill spot. I have no doubt the sunrise or sunset would be amazing. When you see the street art below you are getting close to the Mirrador.

This place gives a panoramic view of the La Paz city

A great city view for La paz 🤩

Great cable car system which brings you to the best view of la Paz. Murillo lighthouse

I love this way of transportation. There are lot's of traffic jams in La Paz but with the Teleférico you can avoid these jams easily. You fly as a bird above the city. It feels very safe and secure! And I didn't even mention the view!!! I will use it again, again and again, like many citizens of La Paz.

Great way for tourist to get a birds eye view of the city. If you have a long layover it’s easy to get to a station via a taxi and then take a loop. We did the silver line to yellow to Celest (sky blue) to white then orange and lastly red lines. It’s three bolivianos per line but if you tell them your plan when you buy the tickets you can get the first for three and the rest for two bolivianos. There is security in every station and all the carts felt safe.

One star review - we bought the 30 BOB ticket and toward the gate because we are breathing heavily (attitude sickness - first day in La Paz), they don’t allow us to go in … ridiculous, not recommended.

I did tried few lines which are blue, green, yellow and white. Every line are amazing, especially this purple line was closed from my hostel and good to capture whole La Paz city in short riding time. If you get off the very first stop, you can see local fresh markets as well.

That's super cool public transport ... you can go around the whole city in few hours ... 😉

Amazing experience, endless views of La Paz, very convenient to ride and switch from station to station. Cheap transportation with excellent views.

It is interesting to see but the reverse clock was smaller than expected. Nice square with vendors. We were there on a Sunday.

Super nice cable car which brings you best view in town.

Great to people watch and see Camino market 0km. Pigeons are pretty out of control, circa London 1985. Buildings of modern and old are mixed, changing of guards also possible to see. Only downside some off characters around, valuables as usual keep them close.

Colonial side of La Paz, good for pictures but I much prefer the other side.

Nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

Full of pigeons, used to be great for pictures until that big ugly government tower was built. Still a significant part of the city, it is considered the starting point to measure distance in La Paz. You can find an old church, the old movie theatre and state buildings there.

Best days to visit Murillo Square are Mondays through Fridays before midday.

Informative, intetesting, pushing the cocaine agenda, but you can't blame them. Lovely guy gave us some free leaf samples. Took about an hour to read the English booklet they give you.

Fantastic museum. Jam packed with so much interesting information about the history, spirituality, use, production, politics, and advertising of coca leaves. Excellent manual with complete translation in English. Really enjoyed this incredible tiny museum. I read everything and was there for about two hours.

Interesting museum about the history, cultural and political aspects of the coca plant and it's derivatives. Focus is on providing information and education rather than displaying artefacts etc. Displays are mostly photos with texts, in Spanish but a translation booklet is provided to accompany your visit in other languages if needed. Photos prohibited

It's okay. If you really want to learn about the history of coca, you can go, but don't expect any exciting exhibits. They give you a 30-page reader, which takes about an hour to read. There's not much else to it.

In my opinion not worth a visit. Heavily biased museum that tries to paint a positive picture of cocaine and it's usage. Some quotes from the brochure really left me shocked on how unreflected they were.

Very small museum. Overall fairly interesting and informative, but the majority of the time you are just reading a book about the history of cocaine. The pictures on the wall and the weird manikins do very little to add to the experience. Thankfully it was only 15 Bs. because any more would not be worth it. One of the best parts of the whole time there is the Coca candy they give you which numbs your mouth and wakes you up a bit.

Small little museum that was interesting in the way of information. They gave out Coca candy and I ended up buying a small bag from family back home to taste. They had plenty of other gifts of coca to buy too. Most items were text or photos that were copyrighted so photos were not permitted. The little hall way up to the museum had vendors. Bathrooms available for free.

This activity is a must if you pass through La Paz! The instructors are friendly, patient and very professional. they explain, demonstrate and walk you through everything. We felt very safe. It's fairly cheap and quick to do

Great experience! But of a must do if visiting La Paz. Staff were super friendly and made it a great time. Highly recommended!

The best place to have a wonderful and exiting experience in La Paz. Very professional instructions and with them you can feel nothing but fun.

A super professional team that makes this fun experience completely more enjoyable. They take you through the whole process step by step, so that once you're there, you feel completely ready

Fantastic experience with really great crew. Totally recommended!!

Super fun experience and they really got the safety aspect down. Make sure to bring Cash they don't accept credit card.

Tour operator was amazing. I felt safe and had a blast.

Visiting the Witches Market in La Paz was such a unique and unforgettable experience. The market is full of fascinating items, from traditional remedies to mystical charms and ritual supplies. Every seller I spoke with was incredibly friendly, patient, and eager to share their knowledge about local witchcraft traditions and spiritual beliefs. Their warm hospitality made exploring even more enjoyable. If you're ever in La Paz, don't miss this magical place-you'll leave with amazing memories and maybe even a special souvenir.

Such a beautiful and interesting place. Filled with vibrant colours and everything you could possible need! Definitely worth a visit!

The Witches’ Market (Mercado de las Brujas / Mercado de Hechicería) is located around Calles Linares and Jiménez, near the historic district of La Paz, close to San Francisco Church. It’s run primarily by Aymara women (chifreras / yatiri) who sell items for traditional / spiritual practices (herbs, charms, potions, dried animals, etc.). It was designated as Intangible Cultural Heritage of La Paz partly because it is a living expression of cultural and spiritual traditions.

It’s really just a street lined with tourist shops - I wouldn’t call it much of an attraction. There’s a mixture of mass-produced textile crafts (clothing/bags/…), artisan alpaca-based stores, and some bohemian stores selling cultural items (probably the most interesting aspect of the street).

The Witches’ Market in La Paz is a very unique place! You can find traditional items and it’s a great spot to buy souvenirs and Patagonia jackets.

A nice a great place to pass by, its quite smaller than what people mention but really fun PS: not creepy :p

So many stores and little trinkets to take home as gifts and souvenirs. A couple of restaurants there too. Whether you’re looking for local artists with their brand or general souvenirs you’ll definitely find it there

Beautiful street with a few museums around. Loved the paved street

One of the better-preserved parts of the colonial area of La Paz, Jaen Street retains the old cobbled stones and houses dating back to the 18th century. Many of these houses are now museums, and the street is home to five of La Paz’s most important museums: Museo de Metales Preciosos, Museo del Litoral, Museo Casa de Murillo, and Museo Costumbrista Juan de Vargas. These four museums are included in a single ticket that you can purchase at Museo Costumbrista and start your visit from there. The fifth museum is the Museo de Instrumentos Musicales. All five museums can be visited in a day due to their size and proximity. You have a 48-72 hour time window to visit the four municipal ones included in a single ticket, so be sure to check the timetables as opening times vary.

Go to other places if you’re looking for colonial ambience.

Colonial pedestrian street that filled with local museums and a small art gallery. It is very close to Iglesia de San Francisco, about 10 minutes walking distance. There are also coffee shop and souvenirs stores along this street.

Nice street

Colonial street filled with museums.

This is La Paz’s best preserved colonial street and one of the most touristic destinations in the city. It houses four museums that they are located one next to the other, in fantastic buildings of colonial architecture. One of these museums is the Casa de Murillo, the house of Pedro Domingo Murillo, the leader in the La Paz Revolution of 1809, that was hanged by the conquistadors where is now the Plaza Murillo. The museum displays collections of colonial art, furniture and household items of Bolivian aristocracy. It is also worth visiting the Mamani Mamani Gallery, of the homonym famous Aymaran artist, who's work has been exhibited all over the world and it's well known for his use of indigenous tradition and symbols.

Not for skiing, it is abandoned since long ago, when I went there was some snow at the top. I give 5 stars to the trail itself, it was a great experience to go on motorcycle.

Nobody can ski here for many years but it's a wonderful mountain with beautiful views

Great views of the landscape when it's clear. I have been 3 times and the third time was the only time we actually made it to the top. The road is narrow and can be impassable during rainy/snowy season in July.

It used to be the world's highest ski station. Today it is abandoned because the mountain is almost always snow-free due to climate change. It's still a nice place to hike and wonder about the history.

At 5051 meters is a high point of view.... you can see all the mountains around, and a special view of Huayna Potosi summit😊

Amazing view from the top. We can see snowy mountains and colored lagoons. The driving road is a bit scary but it's worth it.

Amazing place, the last 200m up were quitw hard an it was pretty cold. Road up there is an adventure.

Intriguing ruins with plenty of histories to tell. You can't get much from this place without a guide to explain everything to you. The information about the ruins on the site is poor. However it's interesting to wonder how things were working in the past. This archaeological site is definitely a gem that must be preserved at all costs.

Mind blowing ruins, a must see in Tiwanaku! We walked just a small distance there before going to Tiwanaku, I would suggest doing this much smaller site first as others ran out of time after Puma Punku and it would be a shame to miss these ruins and seeing things like the mysterious H blocks. We walked around the whole flat pyramid structure too, the condition of the blocks and precision of the stone cuts and building is just really impressive. This site is definitely underrated and not talked about enough. A must see while you’re there!

Although I used to BC archaeological sites in other parts of the world, this rather "modern" site is quite amazing, and I highly recommend visiting it. It also could be much, much older than we think...

Great experience. Definitely recommend going with a pre-booked guide otherwise you’ll be lost in understanding all the rich history on site and what is yet undiscovered underground.

Easily spent 3 hours here without a guide. Do your research of the area/history before you go to really appreciate the site. Bring a camera if you have one! Planned to stay the night so we wouldn't have to rush this, the other site and museums all in one day. Noticed tour busses didn't stop here, what a shame!

This is an archaeological site near Tiwanaku and its name means the gate of the Puma. It was built in 6th century AD and its purpose was to be used as a large platform in order to layer above it other type of massive structures, that unfortunately are not saved. Current understanding of this complex is rather limited due to its age, lack of written record, and its deteriorated condition. The blocks are massive in size and weight and it is thought to have been transferred there from lake Titicaca. Another theory suggests that the blocks were man made. The most striking feature is the engineering of the blocks, as they are perfectly linear with precise holes, with the purpose to interlock them like a puzzle.

WOW! This is a must see when in Cusco. It defies expectations.

Nice church, from the outside it looks magnificent. Big golden altar piece inside, some nice woodwork at the doors and windows. At 10:30 and 14:30 there are some blessings given to cars, outside on the street. If you pass by around that time, have a look. Bot necessarly worth it to visit only for that.

The must see in town. The Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana, located on the shores of Lake Titicaca, is one of Bolivia's most important religious sites. The sanctuary houses the revered Virgin of Copacabana, the patron saint of Bolivia, whose devotion dates back to the 16th century. It was so famous in colonial times that the shores in Copacabana in Brazil are named in honor of this Virgen de la Candelaria. The original statue was sculpted by Francisco Tito Yupanqui, an indigenous artist and descendant of the Inca Huayna Capac, with the intention of inspiring faith among the local population. Built between 1669 and 1679, the basilica replaced an earlier church and was constructed at the foot of a hill sacred to the Incas. Within the sanctuary complex, there is the Capilla de Indios, an open chapel that allowed indigenous worshippers to participate in religious ceremonies outdoors, a practice deeply rooted in their traditions. Additionally, the Calvario of Copacabana, located on a nearby hill, serves as a pilgrimage site where devotees follow the Stations of the Cross, bringing offerings and performing rituals that blend Catholic and Andean beliefs. Today, the sanctuary remains a significant spiritual destination, especially during the festivities on February 2 and August 5, when thousands of pilgrims gather to honor the Virgin. The image is positioned in a rotating base that allows it to be in the Main Althar or in el camarino.

Very beautiful Basilica and an interesting ritual of getting cars blessed.

Beautiful cathedral in the center of town. The only strange sight was the insanely long line of cars waiting to be blessed by the Priest (a service provided only at this Church specially) which is something I have never observed anywhere else before.

Coming from Europe, colonial church’s don’t call my attention so much. But this one has an exquisite architecture, something between a church and a moral. It totally deserves the visit. They were painting when we were there a week ago, so it should be even more beautiful soon.

Historical and imposing Basilica, much larger than you'd expect to find in such a small town as Copacabana. It all makes sense, though, when considering that this 17th-century Spanish colonial shrine that houses the image of the Virgen de Copacabana, the the patron saint of the Country of Bolivia. Unfortunately it is strictly prohibited to take pictures on the inside, where the most impressive art is. At the entrance there is a statue of Francisco Tito Yupanqui (1550–1616) the indigenous sculptor who created the statue of the Virgin of Copacabana, one of the most revered Marian images in Bolivia. He was an Inca descendant, grandson of Emperor Huayna Capac and son of the last Inca named by the Spanish Paullu Inca.

An impressive Basilica alongside Lake Titicaca it is well worth a visit. Our Lady is the patron of both they National Police and the Naval Forces...and Lake Titicaca is the only logical place for a Bolivian Navy.

The Company is well organised, took us on private tour to the Islands for 2 days. highly recommended. would do it again with no hesitation

Great guides. Raoul and Cesar madre our stay unforgetable. Worth a try.

Masumenis

We walked up Cerro Calvario, a hill north of town, where we climbed pass 14 stations of the cross. Due to the high altitude I struggled with the climb, but made it to the summit. There is a great view of Copacabana and Lake Tititcaca.

A must climb if you are in the area. If you take the Bolivia hop one day lake titicaca tour, you will have about an hour and 30 minutes before your boat leaves after being dropped off in town - perfect time for a hike!

Copacabana and lake are both great. There is a very affordable hotel in front of the lake with amazing view (30$ or so per night).

Very Heavy UpHill Hike (watch your heart) Religious References for the via cruxis, Amazing View once you are up there... Totally recommended

You get an amazing sunset view from the cerro, do bring a flashlight or full battery on your phone to get back down

Tough climb but totally worth it!

Stunning views of lake Titicaca and Copacabana, especially at sunset

interesting to read the positive and negative reviews. I agree with both. However, like anything else, it is what you make of it. There are a couple of great trails, and two pretty good ruins to look at. As with most other local ruins, they are not yet roped off from the public, so one can actually touch the 2000 year old stones. I personally think the entire area is amazing.

Loved staying here a night to watch the sunset and take time to explore the island. Amazing views from the miradors and lovely people. It is a bit tourist trappy but I think staying the night vs just a day trip is worth it. Highly recommend

Impressive temple site Note that accessing the rest of the (higher) village can be challenging

Don’t waste your time here. Nothing really to see and I was really annoyed by the fact I had to pay 10 Bolivians to enter the island. I’m not sure what that gets your. Extraction of cash from tourists extravaganza.

Small. Ruines are nice.

Nose xd

(Translated by Google) Island with the famous Temple of the Moon, visited during a day trip from Copacabana, reached by boat. A small hike is necessary to reach the temple, but nothing too demanding. (Original) Isola con il famoso tempio della Luna, visitato durante un day trip da Copacabana, raggiunto tramite barca. Necessaria una piccola scarpinata per raggiungere il tempio, ma nulla di impegnativo.

We had a day trip from Copacabana, however there is plenty of accommodation on the island. Boat to Isla Del Sol a must. Do the walk from boat drop off on the island to the departure point. You will see ruins, and get a real feel about life on the island. Mario, our guide, who lives in the island was fantastic, giving us an insight to life on an island with no cars and wherr traditional farming practices are done. Also you will see how they build their mudbrick houses

What an amazing place…although a lot of things on the island are quite basic the boat tour to the island and the hiking on the island are an extraordinary experience. Ideally you walk from north to south or vice versa which gives you a good overview of the island.

If you do not enjoy feeling like a walking wallet, I recommend trying different places around Titicaca, which are (judgung from the views) equally nice and a definitely a lot more welcoming. The hike was beutiful, although we were stopped every hour or so to pay or show we have paid, and there is an Inca site (which you learn nothing about sadly, despite all the entrance fees, so it looks like any other ruin). Overall I would say it is overrated.

Stunning island with a rich history, archaeological sites and lots of stunning views

The island is amazing but unfortunately the boats start too late from Copacabana so you won't have enough time to enjoy the day if you won't stay at least 1 night on the island. We had a day trip and definitely regret not staying on the island because the first boat arrived around 11am at the northern port and we had a lot of stress catching the last returning boat from the southern port at 4pm. We recommend going to the northern part and hiking to the south, then sleeping there at night before going back to the mainland. The northern part has more beautiful natural views but the southern part has more facilities like restaurants and bars to make your stay more comfortable.

Isla del Sol, this stunning island on Lake Titicaca was a highlight of my Bolivia trip. Spent a whole day just walking through the trails and experiencing the ancient sites from the Inca civilization, which is better than any museum experience.

Possibly the most beautiful island we've ever visited. We only came for one night and wished we'd stayed for more so that we could do some hiking and spend a day just relaxing, reading and drinking beers with the beautiful views! It's possible to hike from the north to the south in around 4 hours and to take the boat one way. We stayed in Yumani in the south which though touristy we found beautiful and actually not particularly built up beyond the guesthouses and lodges.

Most incredible portal and energy vortex!! A MYST see site. A place of magic that is still mysterious and off the beaten trick. We felt especially privileged to have been taken here.

Even if you are not into mysticism, the terrain alone is enough to marvel at. The red earth and rock outcrops shapes are otherworldly in stature. It’s not something you see every day. I could not operate the drone within close proximity to the “portal”. I’m guess it’s the magnetic interference. I had to walk probably a hundred meters before the drone would respond. Amazing place.

Beautiful views. Reminds me of Moab Utah :) Short hike but really winded at top, close 14K feet at top.

This place is truly something remarkable and special!!! We had such an incredible time here. The energy of this place is truly unparalleled to anywhere else on the planet I’ve been! The crystals and local artesanal crafts are super cheap!!! Buy off each one of them even if it’s a small crystal!!! Only 1-10soles depending on the stone Must visit, 5soles to get in!! 😍🙌🏼🤩

Nice place. If you are an advanced rock climber in particulat. If not just enjoy a nice walk and beautiful rock formations. An old man at the bottom asks money for so called guide services. Nice to give him a coin.

One of the most spiritual places I've ever visited! Socrates, the aymara guy who charges you at the entrance showed us the back part of the mountain where the ancient drawings are and convinced me to camp there someday (I can't wait!). Socrates and some other ladies who were selling gifts there explained how the aymara language works! I loved every part of this experience, one of the greatest I lived in Peru

Aramu Muru is a stone carving in Hayu Marca (a majestic and rugged mountain range along the shores of Lake Titicaca - Peru), some 115 km from Juliaca City and about 78 km from border city Desaguadero (with Bolivia). Known as “Gate of the Gods”, it was accidently discovered in 1996 and is believed by locals to be an abandoned Incan construction project (although what purpose the space once served is still unknown). Aramu Muru is cut in the side of one such granite crest. The flat stone is approximately 7.0 m square, with a T-shaped alcove is 198 cm high carved in the bottom middle (one man can fit into it). The surface of the portal is well-polished. Many local legends tell that - Aramu Muru is seen as a gate leads to the spirit world or even - to the world of gods. Anyway, it is not known when Aramu Muru was made and who did it as no archaeological research has been done here yet. Nowadays, locals carry out rituals of all kinds at the door of Aramu Muru, to ask for peace, to say thank you to the Gods or ask for hope. On the other side of the cliff in earlier times was located a tunnel, which is blocked now with stones to prevent mishaps with tourists. July and August are the best months when most tourists visit Aramu Muru to explore, make some hiking, rituals... Whatever the reason is that you visit Aramu Muru, you will certainly be fascinated, for the natural beauty that surrounds Lake Titicaca, the varied geography, the legends or the spiritual energy that undoubtedly recharges you in this beautiful area of Peru.

Welcome to Lake Titicaca – the highest navigable lake in the world at 3812m above sea level, stretching across 8562 km² between Peru and Bolivia. The air’s thin, but the legends are thick. This sacred lake was considered the birthplace of the Inca civilization, where the sun god allegedly sent down Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo to kickstart a whole empire. No pressure. The real magic? The Uros people, who live on floating reed islands crafted from totora reeds – yes, actual floating islands made of squishy lake plants. They even cruise around in straw boats 🛶 that look like Viking ships made by a children’s art class with engineering degrees. Functional, photogenic, and slightly surreal. Expect breathtaking views, mild altitude-induced confusion, and a newfound appreciation for ancient lakefront architecture made entirely of straw.

Lake Titicaca is an absolutely magical place. The sheer size and elevation of the lake are breathtaking, and its vibrant blue waters are unlike anything I've ever seen. What makes it truly special, however, is the unique culture that surrounds it. The floating islands of the Uros, the traditional weavers of Taquile, and the peaceful communities on Amantaní all offer a unique glimpse into a way of life that has existed for centuries. A visit to this lake is not just a sightseeing trip; it's a deep dive into the heart of Andean culture and history. Highly recommended for a truly unforgettable travel experience.

🇵🇪Peru, Lake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable lake and one of South America's stunning natural wonders. 🇵🇪 Most amazing experience is to know about The Uro tribe. They spoke their native language and they did not feel the cold. Uro tribe historically called themselves Lupihaques, "sons of the Sun". 🌞 I think what Uro people do for living is exactly what our tribe (Berawan) do. Fishing is of the activities necessary for trade and subsistence.🩵🥰

It is one of the most mesmerising experiences in life. If you have not, visited, it is a must-visit place. Also, the type of experiences you can have wither in the market plaza or in any of the islands which you are visiting. It is a totally different experience and humbles. You the simple lifestyle with love. Sharing caring and community involvement. Helps you to see a different perspective off the phone ayima's. And the kechchua , it's not a very , very in interesting experience to visit for a full day excursion

One of the truly unique places in Peru. What make the place different are the indigenous people and their way of life. The colourful traditional costumes, the beautiful knit 'paintings', man-made 'islands' constructed from a local breed of sturdy straw were highlights of visiting the lake besides the awesome lake itself.

Lake Titicaca is the highest large lake in the world at 3,812 metres elevation. We went to visit one of the "floating islands" entirely made of reeds from the lake and also had the chance to get in their boat, also made of reeds. No electricity or modern comforts like running water or toilets. Unfortunately (and understandably), their population is getting smaller because young people from their families are opting to live in the cities. Their schools, government offices, churches, are on separate floating islands. Amazing to see how their people have lived unchangedvfor centuries.

More or less only for the turist that comes along. We were in Puno and wanted to see the lake and we did.

Amantaní is a place of serene beauty. The hike to the top of the island to see the sunset is simply breathtaking—the way the light hits Lake Titicaca is pure magic. We were so happy to have stayed overnight with a local family, as it gave us a real taste of the island's culture and traditions. The pace of life here is slow and peaceful. If you want to see a side of Peru that is truly untouched by mass tourism, make sure to include a stop on Amantaní in your itinerary.

Unique experience. If you don't speak Spanish the experience will be less. Nevertheless the families were very welcomming and overal it is an unique experience. The sunset is definitely worth it at the temple

A great stop for a day or two. The island has walking paths which are easily accessible. Do make sure you have some level of fitness to be able to walk since it's not leveled and going uphill steep. The views in town but especially from the top are magnificent. People are very friendly as well.

A very special island with the most wonderful inhabitants. I stayed overnight with a host family that was very open and welcoming. The meals we’re prepared and offered with love. The trails on the island are very well maintained and easy to navigate. This stay was the highlight of my trip to Peru. Beautiful place.

I did a home stay with local family for 1 night. We sing, we dance together. We enjoy the local meal! Especially at the night, you can see the beautiful milk way. There is almost zero light hazard.

I love this island in Puno, the tourism is totally different you stay with a local family there and learn about the culture and how is people leave . Is is really cold but worth it to go the view to titicaca lake it is just amazing 😉 no words to explain so much beauty.

Our 3 day stay in Amantani and Taquile back in 1992 was a journey within our journey around South America. On these islands life goes on day by day apart from the rest of the world. Homestay was allowed with firendly families. They couldn't speak spanish, but we mangaed to get to the essential needs for the day. It is peacfull, the views are stunning, so are the colours of the fields at sunset and early morning. You walk around, meet some locals going on with their duties and the day goes on. It is even possible to swim in Lake Titicaca, cold but possible. An amazing experience where the clock seem to have stopped for 3 days.
