Hiking
Even the path to the Chincana Temple offers spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding area. The scenery is almost Mediterranean, with small, hidden coves, fine sandy beaches, and turquoise waters, a dreamlike experience.

Hiking
The trail meanders along Lake Titicaca, where the azure waters lap against the rocky shoreline in an almost unreal way. The historic site itself is a mix of ancient stone walls and a backdrop that is almost meditative. Once you reach the top, it's worth stopping for a moment to look out over the pristine landscape. If you feel like it, you can even take a refreshing swim on the shore - a rare opportunity at this altitude. But remember to bring plenty of water with you, as the height of Lake Titicaca is noticeable.
