Undoubtedly one of the most breathtakingly beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Pehoe looks stunning when viewed with the domineering Torres del Paine mountain range behind it. Located in a remote part of Chilean Patagonia, the lake takes some getting to, but is well worth the effort once you see the gorgeous glaciers, sparkling waterfalls, and majestic mountains that lie nearby.

The largest lake in the whole of South America, the glittering waters of Lake Titicaca lie more than 3,800 meters above sea level. Nestled amongst the Andes, with snow-capped peaks spotted in the distance, the seemingly never-ending lake now straddles the border between Bolivia and Peru.

Besides taking in the stunning scenery, visitors can go hiking along the lakeshore, take boat trips to floating islands, or visit age-old Inca ruins. While many people use the lively tourist town of Copacabana as a base, others prefer to stay in quieter and more relaxed shoreside towns. Long a popular holiday destination, Lake Titicaca certainly has something for everyone to enjoy.

Located high on the Andean Plateau in Bolivia, the rusty red waters of Laguna Colorada – or ‘red lagoon’ – make for an impressive sight. While local legend has it that the ruddy hues of the lake are the spilled blood of the gods, its distinctive coloring is, in fact, due to the algae that reside in its shallow waters.

Dotted about its reddish surface, visitors can spot gleaming white borax islands and pink flamingos, while the clear blue skies and glimmering salt deposits along the shoreline add yet more color to the already spectacular scene. Located just a stone’s throw away from the Chilean border in Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, this beautiful lake and its kaleidoscopic colors needs to be seen to be believed.
