Titilaka

Lake Titicaca

Peru, the third largest country in South America has always been an exceptional tourist destination. The Spanish conquistadores came here in search of El Dorado and instead found the Incan Empire, a civilization which fascinates people to this day thanks to the remains of Machu Picchu for example, and the Empire’s ancient capital city of Cuzco.

One of the most famous and most traveled regions is the Altiplano with its numerous valleys and snow capped mountains and like an apotheosis, the highest navigable lake in the world: Lake Titicaca perched at an altitude of 3,812 meters. According to Incan mythology, it was the birthplace of the Children of the Sun, and today’s descendants of the Uros Indians continue to sail past the floating islands and the Island of Taquile.
