Lake Titicaca - Page 1

Lake Titicaca borders Bolivia and Peru and is the largest lake in South America and the highest navigable lake in the world. Our guide told us that there is not the greatest relationship between the two countries.  She claimed that Bolivia has the better part of the lake; the Peru section is very polluted.  She told us that Bolivia got the TITI and Peru got the CACA!

While there we took a boat and visited the floating islands of the Uru Indians.  There are 42 islands in all.

The Uru use bundles of dried totora reeds to make reed boats (balsas), and to make the islands themselves.
