During the day, you will see breathtaking landscapes filled with mountain scapes, and at night you will be able to sit under a sky of stars as you have never seen before. Activities for couples include relaxing on the beach, dipping in the calm waters, or listening to music while sitting around the campfire at night.

There are hotels located on the islands of Lake Titicaca, including Utasawa Lodge, which is located right on Isla del Sol, which is a cozy bed and breakfast.
