NATURE

Step outside the vibrant city and you will be overwhelmed by the sea-like lake, lush Andean mountain tops, and unique island communities. One of the best ways to completely unplug and recharge in nature is by staying in one of the serene lodges like Titilaka Relais & Château, where guests can wake up every day surrounded by nothing but peaceful Peruvian scenery.

WELLNESS

Simply unplugging from the outside world is enough on Lake Titicaca, and an overnight stay at the Amantica Lodge is sure to bring you some inner peace. Here, visitors will enjoy organic recipes from a private Chef, local customs and rituals that help balance their energy, and simply experiencing the slow-paced lifestyle of indigenous communities will help travelers feel nourished!
