Casa Andina Premium Puno
Perched at water’s edge and taking full advantage of its privileged location on the Puno area of Lake Titicaca, with extraordinary views 3,800m (12,500 ft) above sea level.
A majority of the Casa Andina Premium Puno hotel’s 46 rooms boast unparalleled lake views; the hotel’s gourmet restaurant is enclosed by a glass wall framing the lake and gardens; and a large, sunny terrace invites guests to contemplate Lake Titicaca’s seemingly endless expanse.
Unique among Puno hotels, oxygen is available in all rooms (a bonus for guests having difficulty adapting to the high altitude).
Inviting rather than imposing, the Casa Andina Premium Puno hotel — which has its own private train station stop, for guests coming from Cusco — is a reflection of its altiplano location. It is built with rustic local materials, including stone, wood, and clay tiles, while stone fireplaces warm the lobby lounge and restaurant.
With Lake Titicaca the premier draw, guests can set off to explore its unique islands — the floating Uros, Taquile, and Amantaní, as well as the remote ecolodge, a splendid getaway on private Isla Suasi—right from the hotel’s long private pier extending over the lake.
