Lake Titicaca


Lake Titicaca-

Lake Titicaca is the world´s highest navigable lake and South America´s biggest lake. So when I first saw Lake Titicaca, I wasn´t surprised at it´s ginormous size. I was amazied by the beauty of the lake and as a result of the high altitude, the air is unusually clear, making the horizon seem limitless as well as the lumisescent sunlight reflecting off the lake to make almost perfect views of the lake. Brinja and I were able to see the rural Peruvian life and visit the peaceful lakeside communities where Aymara and Quechua are still first languages. This was the start of Peru´s ancient civilizations, and to the Incas, the birthplace of the first Inca Manca Capac.
