De pequeños estudiamos el lago Titicaca y su Desaguadero , pero nos sonaba a algo chistoso y además inalcanzable.
Ahora hemos podido conocerlo , disfrutarlo y sufrirlo (por el soroche) .
Nos ha dejado un gran recuerdo por su inmensidad , pues parece un mar , por sus paisajes y por la amabilidad de su gente
Llegamos desde Cuzco a Puno , en autobús y con el mismo medio pasamos la frontera de Bolivia a Copacabana y después seguimos en otro hasta La paz
When we were young we studied the Titicaca Lake and Desaguadero , but it sounded funny and besides unachievable
Now we could know it , enjoy it and suffer it (For the soroche)
We have a great memory due to its immensity , as it looks like a see , its landscapes and their people friendship
We went from Cuzco to Puno , by bus and in the same transport we crossed the Bolivian border up to Copacavana and then we followed in another up to La Paz
