Lake Titicaca is central to Inca mythology, believed to be where the first Incas, Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo, emerged to establish Cusco. The region has been home to Aymara and Quechua cultures for centuries.
Located in southern Peru, Lake Titicaca spans 8,372 km² (3,232 mi²), shared between Peru and Bolivia. It features floating islands, remote communities, and deep blue waters surrounded by high-altitude Andean landscapes.
With an Andean high-altitude climate, temperatures vary from 15°C (59°F) during the day to as low as -5°C (23°F) at night. The dry season (May–September) is the best time to visit, with clearer skies.
