Historical Building in Lake Titicaca

By Kristi Mohrbacher

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world. With this status comes plenty of activities that can't be experienced anywhere else. Visit the remaining funerary towers of the ancient Colla people who once dominated Lake Titicaca. The towers once contained the remains of tribal families and their belongings. Island hop from floating island to floating island on a reed boat. Spend the night with local families who are warm and will welcome you to experience their traditions. Buy unique handicrafts, clothes and jewelry from markets throughout the lake. Photograph the deep hues of the lake against the bright white snowcapped peaks. Visit old churches and even older ruins scattered around the islands and shores of Lake Titicaca. Taste local foods or learn native dances. This is just the beginning of what the shores and depths of Lake Titicaca has to offer!
