LAKE TITICACA | BOLIVIA

One of Bolivia's most popular attractions is Lake Titicaca. The Bolivian side is often deemed more beautiful than that of Peru, and the ever-present Cordillera Real creates stunning views of the lake. Lake Titicaca can be found just 72 kms (45 miles), from La Paz, the capital. Lake Titicaca covers 8,300 kilometres (3.204 sq mi) and is 3,812 metres (12.506 feet) above the sea level. It was home to the ancient Tiwanaku culture. The land was inhabited by the Quechua, Aymara, and their rich, centuries-old folk traditions after the mysterious disappearances of the Tiwanaku.

Lake Titicaca, located between Peru and Bolivia at an astonishing 3,812m, is the highest navigable lake in the world. You can see tranquil sapphire, golden islands and floating reed islands that are inhabited by Uros people from the Bolivian side. The high altitude means that temperatures can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius at times. The best time to see the most stunning views on an escorted Bolivia tour is between April and October, when it's dry and sunny.

The Bolivian side of the Lake Titicaca is a more adventurous and beautiful experience than the more popular Peruvian side.
