Lake Titicaca

Lake Titicaca

Lake Titicaca felt more like a sea than a lake. At night the only thing you could hear was the waves crashing on the shore, and during the day it stretched further than the eye could see. But the breathlessness and the lack of salt in the air told a different story. Lake Titicaca is a freshwater lake that stretches over 3,500 miles between Peru and Bolivia, is the highest navigable lake at 12,580 feet altitude, and is seen by its Aymara inhabitants as a sacred lake that gave birth to the Inca empire.
