ExploreLa Paz And Titicaca Lake

Lake Titicaca, Bolivia

At over 3800 meters above sea level, Titicaca Lake is the highest in the world, which means not only do visitors experience what its crystal blue waters have to offer in terms of diving, swimming and boating, but the views from here are incredible. Both the wildlife and aquatic life in and around the lake are also something to behold. La Paz, beyond being the gateway to the fabulous lake, is really all about the mountains. You feel as though you are sky high here. It is actually the highest capital city in the world. If you hop on Mi Teleferico, a one-of-a-kind cable car experience, you can take it all in.

Things to See in La Paz And Titicaca Lake

  • Valle de la Luna

    Located about ten miles from the center of the city, this unique rock formation is actually the result of erosion. Once a mountain, it is now a series of tall clay and rock spires. The minerals inherent to the structures create a variety of different colors.
  • Illimani

    The second highest peak in Bolivia, Illimani is a short drive from La Paz. Popular among avid climbers, it was first “conquered” in the late 1800s. Today, Illimani is often attempted by serious climbers, though there are a number of exciting tours that allow less-experienced guests to explore the base of the mountain.
  • Isla de la Luna

    Situated in Titicaca Lake, this island is known as something a haven of Incan ruins. Myths and legends surround the history of the island, and there can be seen the archeological remnants of the Temple of Virgins. There are at least two boat companies running daily excursions to the historic island.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
