Lake Titicaca
📍 Lake Titicaca, Puno, Peru
4.4/ 5.0
★★★★☆
Introduction
Lake Titicaca is a highland giant on the Peru–Bolivia border at 3,812 metres, the largest lake in South America and the highest navigable lake on Earth. The Uros floating islands are woven from reed, and Taquile's inhabitants still keep Inca weaving alive. Between water and distant mountains lies a living museum of millennial Indigenous lake life, and in Andean belief the lake of creation itself.
