Titicaca - Visitng the world's highest navigable lake (allegedly)

Advantages: Local people, local culture, Tranquility, Beauty, Location, Adventure
Disadvantages: Altitude sickness

Lake Titicaca is situated on the border between Peru and Bolivia and is famous for being (arguably) the highest navigable lake in the world (3812m above sea level). Even though that definition may be a tiny bit subjective, (there are higher lakes in the world and some boats can navigate in only a few inches of water), you shouldn't question that claim too loudly it if you visit - this lake is home to the flotilla of the Bolivian Navy (pretty impressive, ...
...the second out onto the lake must have been superb!

There is no transport on the island, so you have to walk everywhere. As we were still adjusting to the altitude, this is an extremely slow and painful process, particularly since this place is very hilly. We wandered around slowly being shown the sights and spent sunset visiting pre-Columbian ruins of local religious significance. As in the rest of Peru, the religion here is a mixture ... more

Somewhere that will be exploited soon

Advantages: Remote Beauty
Disadvantages: Risk of sunburn

Lake Titicaca spans the border between Peru and Bolivia and is one of (if not the) highest navigable lakes in the world at altitude 4600m (approx). It is also the largest lake in South America. The Peruvian side of Titicaca is better known for its "floating islands" but the Bolivian side has much to recommend it. It is very undeveloped by western standards - there are a few, well spaced restaurants and boats for hire, but nothing equating to mass ...
...lake - the more famous larger section contains the Isla del Sol - where it is possible to stay overnight. On our trip, however, we only went for a day visit and went to the smaller part of the lake, visiting one of the islands there. It was a fascinating trip. On the islands, villagers live a subsistence lifestyle which is, as yet largely unchanged. Not for long though - the writing is on the wall. Our guide told us that young people all want to ...

Review of Lake Titicaca

Lake Titicaca & the floating Uros Islands

Advantages: Spectacular Scenery, unique experience on the floating islands
Disadvantages: 4,300metres above sea level - which means altitude problems!

I began my visit at Puno, which lies on the shore of the lake. The town is 4,300m above sea level, so the air is thin and I was grateful that the receptionist in the hotel offered to send a cup of coca tea straight up to my room when I checked in. This is made from coca leaves (yes, the ones cocaine comes from!) and it DOES help! You can also chew the leaves, but they taste vile. I had come from Arequipa, which is also at altitude, so I was acclimatised more quickly than other new arrivals, who were short of breath and a little lethargic. The next morning, under fabulous skies, a small boat took us out onto Lake Titicaca , passing through the huge reed beds. The reeds are used by the Uros people to make floating islands, on which they live, building small huts and magnificent boats (all from reeds).The Uros people were very welcoming ...

Review of Lake Titicaca

Sacred Islands and blessed cars

Advantages: Fascinating at every turn
Disadvantages: Altitude can cause problems

Copacabana, Lake Titicaca and Huatajata We crossed the border between Peru and Bolivia on land. We walked to the Peru passport office and were stamped out of Peru then walked a few yards to be stamped into Bolivia. We climbed into a local mini bus - about 7 of us squeezed into a VW kombi sort of van which took us to Copacabana, in Bolivia. Copacabana is an Aymara town of about 20,000 people. Its name means 'The overlook of the Lake' in Aymara. It was Sunday and in Cocacabana on one Sunday in the month they have a very interesting celebration. Outside the church there were a huge number of new cars all decorated with flowers having beer or champagne shaken over them. The priest then came and blessed them one by one after which fire crackers were let off. The owners of the cars also enjoyed a bit of the alcohol and after the cars ...
