Overview
Straddling the border between Bolivia and Peru, Lake Titicaca is the world’s highest navigable lake at 3,812m. With its tranquil sapphire and golden islands, it is considered to be one of Latin America's extraordinary natural sights along with Iguazú Falls. In fact, Andean belief pinpoints Titicaca as the birthplace of the world and the origin of Incan mythology.
Lake Titicaca is one of Bolivia’s most famed attractions, not least because of the Uros people who call the lake’s some 40 islands home. This immense body of water is a staggering 50 miles wide, fed by 25 different rivers.
Visit the serene islands of the Sun and the Moon, and the religious sanctuary of Copacabana, with a modest sandy beach, which lent its name to the somewhat larger one in Rio de Janeiro.
