Lake Titicaca : Explore the HIGHEST Lake in the World

Lake Titicaca (Lago Titicaca), the world’s highest lake navigable to large vessels, lying at 3,810 m in the Andes Mountains of South America, astride the border between Peru and Bolivia. Titicaca is the 2nd largest lake of South America (after Maracaibo). It covers some 8,300 km² and extends in a northwest-to-southeast direction for a distance of 190 km. It is 80 km across at its widest point.

The remnants of an ancient people, the Uru, still live on floating mats of dried totora (a reedlike papyrus that grows in dense brakes in the marshy shallows). From the totora, the Uru and other lake dwellers make their famed balsas—boats fashioned of bundles of dried reeds lashed together that resemble the crescent-shaped papyrus craft pictured on ancient Egyptian monuments
