Lake Titicaca

Sacred lake in Incan mythology and favored destination - find out why millions revere this lake.

This photographic tour takes us from Puno, Peru to Copacabana, Bolivia, with stops at islands important to the Inca Empire, archaeological sites, the floating islands of the Uros and views of the magnificent scenery of earth, sky and deep, blue water.

A Visit to the Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca includes a two hour boat ride from Puno, Peru for a view of a traditional way of life revolving around the gathering, drying and usage of tortora reeds for shelter, cooking fires, diet, boats, and even the footing under the islander's feet.

The Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca are the home of the Uros, who consider themselves the owners of the lake and its waters. Traditionally fishermen and weavers, they now include tourism as a mainstay as visitors to the lake enjoy the sensation of walking on a floating layer of reeds.
