Lake Titicaca 2 Days has stunning views. Being a National Reserve since 1978, proud of more than 60 varieties of birds, 14 species of native fish and 18 types of amphibians. At 3,820m (12,530ft), it is the highest navigable lake in the world.
With 170km (105mi) long, it is the largest lake in South America. Its altitude means that the air is especially clear and its blue waters are particularly striking.
From Puno City, the main port of the lake, you can make interesting trips by boat to the outer islands. The area is known for its typical dances and its herds of alpacas and llamas. Curious Inca buildings, tombs of Chullpas surround the lake and the floating islands of Uros, made by man, are very fascinating.
Centuries ago, since its construction these islands have been occupied by the Uros People. More powerful and independent are the Indians who live in the communities of Taquile and Amantani.
These islands are described by some travelers, such as being closer to the sky, who reach the depths of the lake, but no deeper than when we will do the Colca Canyon Tour. In fact, there are more than 70 islands in the lake, the largest and most sacred is Isla del Sol, on the Bolivian side of the lake.
