If you’re exploring Copacabana on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Hostal Las Olas is one of the most unique and scenic places to stay in town. Instead of a standard hotel block, the property is made up of individually designed villas and suites perched on a hillside with panoramic lake views from almost every room — the kind of backdrop you’ll want to wake up to every morning.
Each suite is lovingly crafted with quirky architecture and artistic touches, big windows that frame the lake, your own garden or hammock, and plenty of space to relax. There’s even an outdoor hot tub with a lake view you can rent by the hour — perfect for sunset moments.
The vibe here is peaceful and characterful, with gardens full of local plants and wildlife — including friendly alpacas and free‑roaming hens that wander the grounds and make for adorable photo ops. Some guests even get a kick out of feeding the alpacas or spotting hummingbirds in the garden.
Location & comfort:
Perched on a hill overlooking Lake Titicaca with stunning vistas from nearly every suite.
Walking distance from Copacabana’s central market, cathedral, and lakeside promenade — so you’re close to town but still feel tucked away.
Highly rated for comfort, cleanliness, and friendly staff — recent travellers consistently give it top marks for its cosy atmosphere and service.
Rough costs: Suites with lake views tend to start from moderate rates (~USD $60–$100+) depending on size and season, with larger or more unique villas pricing higher.
