Titicaca Lake Crossing - Puno Tours

Lake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable lake and the center of a region where thousands of subsistence farmers eke out a living fishing in its icy waters, growing potatoes in the rocky land at its edge or herding llama and alpaca at altitudes that leave Europeans and North Americans gasping for air. It is also where traces of the rich Indian past still stubbornly cling, resisting in past centuries the Spanish conquistadors' aggressive campaign to erase Inca and preInca cultures and, in recent times, the lure of modernization The City of Puno is located at an average altitude of more than 4,000 m.a.s.l, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. According to local legend, this lake was the birthplace of the Inca civilization. Titicaca National Reserve, was created in 1978 to preserve 37 thousand hectares of marsh reeds in the south and north sectors of Lake Titicaca. The reserve is divided into two sections, Ramis, in the provinces of Huancané and Ramis; and Puno, in the province of the same name. The reserve is home to dozens of native bird species (over 60 species in total between resident and migratory birds), fish (4 different families) and amphibians (18 native species).
