Lake Titicaca: Lake Titicaca is unique in that it is the highest navigable lake in the world (over 12,500 ft/ 3,750 mts.). The clean, clear air often allows one to see for more than 100 miles. Tourists will enjoy horizons adorned by blue skies, gorgeous clouds and some of the highest snow peaks in Bolivia. This is a perfect location for photography. A dozen of those snow peaks visible belong to the Cordillera Real including Illimani, Huayna Potosi, Illampu and Ancohuma, with heights of more than 20,000 ft./12,500 mts. above sea level. Near these mountains and the lake, indigenous peoples still inhabit the area preserving their cultures and traditions that have been maintained for more than 4000 years.
