TITI CACA

The lake is a remnant of the ancient inland sea known as Lago Ballivian which covered much of the Altiplano before geological faults and evaporation brought about a drop in the water level. Its average dimensions are 230 km long and 97 km wide. It is one of the world`s higest major lakes.

I have visited lake Titicaca from Peru and from Bolivia and I found it more nice in Bolivia. It was clean and the view of it was magnificant. Although on both sides there were quite a lot of tourists I advise to check the Bolivian Titicaca.

While this is frustrating, it is one way for people to supplement their income. If you aren't willing to pay, you can nowadays easily find free photos online. Or take the time to befriend them in Spanish, Aymara or Quechua.
