About Sonesta Posadas del Inca Lake Titicaca Puno
Sonesta Posadas del Inca stands on the Lake Titicaca shore on Avenida Sesquicentenario, about 5 km from Puno's Plaza de Armas. It has 70 rooms, with lake or mountain views, and gardens that back onto the water. The glass-fronted Inkafe restaurant and bar looks across the bay, and a private dock lets boat trips to the Uros floating islands and Taquile start right at the hotel.
The room types include twin lake-view rooms with two queen beds, a double lake-view room with a king bed, and mountain-view triples with three queen beds and more than 30 square meters. The triples list heating, which is useful at about 3,800 m, and oxygen is among the services the hotel lists. Breakfast is a buffet served from 5:00 AM, early enough for a dawn boat departure.
Puno's airport is at Juliaca, around 54 minutes away by taxi, and the hotel can help arrange a private transfer. Downtown is roughly a 10-minute taxi ride, so this works best as a calm base for lake days rather than for wandering the old center. A small alpaca and vicuña shop, Sol Alpaca, sits beside reception.

Good to know
- The hotel is about 5 km from the Plaza de Armas, roughly a 10-minute taxi ride, so dinners in the center need a car.
- Rooms face either the lake or the mountains, so ask for the view you want when the trip is designed.
- Check-out is at 10:00 AM, earlier than many hotels, so plan luggage storage if your boat or train leaves later.
