Looking for somewhere unique to spend your vacation this winter season?  While we are all for an absolutely killer all-inclusive Oceanside beach resort, how about changing it up a little bit this trip?  We agree that shorter days and cooler weather calls for some sun and water on your vacation, so we suggest you check out some truly inspiring lakeside holidays to help recharge and relax. A little bit unexpected and totally inspiring.

History and Culture: Peru

Bordering on the Southern side of Peru and the Western side of Bolivia, the sheer size and stillness of Lake Titicaca means it exudes tranquility and serenity. Revered by Native cultures, it is believed by Andeans that Lake Titicaca is the birthplace of the sun. Set amongst a backdrop of ancient cathedrals, ruins and fields still farmed by hand, the essence of Lake Titicaca will leave your soul feeling humbled and refreshed.

There is plenty to do while in Titicaca. Whether it’s history and culture that tops your list, or you prefer activities that get your body moving, there are oodles of things to add to your itinerary. From exploring Incan culture to visiting local markets to hiking, kayaking and biking there is the perfect mix of activities to please every traveler.

Energy and Activity: Texas

If it’s not your style, there is no need to travel to another country to experience sun, heat and the rejuvenating quality of an amazing lake.  Lake Austin in Texas does everything on a grand scale.  Luxury homes, luxury boats, amazing wineries and local-grown foods are just some of the things Lake Austin offers to its visitors.

Energetic festivals and a lively music scene await your arrival on this pristine lake. Why not try your hand (or core strength) at an afternoon of stand-up paddle boarding? Perhaps you’d like to rise early one morning and prove to your friends and family what a great angler you are? You can do it all at Lake Austin and at the end of your trip you can bring home the best bottle of BBQ sauce you’ve ever tasted.
