Imagine being an entrancing island.
Now picture that island afloat on the azure ocean.
Finally, think of that ocean being at the exhilarating altitude of 3,811 m (12,500 ft) above sea level!
Well, that's what you'll find on reaching Lake Titicaca, high in the
Andes Mountain range of Southern Peru and Northern Bolivia.
And there
are many more reasons why travelers find "El Lago Titicaca" so
intriguing and delightful.
The highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca also covers an extensive area (see below) and contains a number of islands.
Lake Titicaca straddles the border between Peru and Bolivia, both of which have several towns on the lake catering the fishing and tourist trades.
On the Peru side of Lake Titicaca (Lago Titicaca), you can locate the two main cities, Juliaca and Puno.
Juliaca is a bustling city, where you will land if you
arrive by airline.
A short trip from Juliaca takes you to Puno, where you find a number of hotels and tours available.
Lake Titicaca weather is generally fair. The area is fairly dry
although remains green most of the year.
Llamas and other domesticated grazing animals do well in the area's
pasture lands.
