Your Travel Experience with South American Tours DMC
Lake Titicaca is nestled in the Andes Mountains at 3,812m (12,506ft.) on the border between Bolivia and Peru. It is the largest lake in South America and the highest navigable lake in the world. Untouched by time, the highland cultures still fish in the ice-cold water, navigate on traditional reed embarkations, and harvest their crops by hand. To this day, their languages, traditional arts, beliefs, and customs have prevailed. Believed to be the birthplace of the sun, Lake Titicaca is a unique experience to not be missed during your adventures in Peru. Discover the uniqueness of the Uros, islands that literally float on Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. Meet resident families dressed in traditional and colorful outfits who will welcome you and show you their homes, boats, and islands made of reed. Every year, they replenish the islands with a new layer of reed and continue to maintain the Aymara language and other traditional ways of living.
