Famed for being the highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca straddles Bolivia and Peru, spanning an area of over 8,300 square kilometres and sat at an altitude of 3,8oo metres above sea level. The sapphire blue waters of the vast lake and the corresponding endless blue sky make a spellbinding vista, emphasised by a backdrop of snow-capped peaks from the surrounding mountain ranges. Forty-one islands dot the lake, both inhabited and uninhabited, the most famous of these being Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna (Island of the Sun and Island of the Moon), both of which have been inhabited since the Inca times. The islands contain a wealth of archaeological sites, indigenous settlements and breathtaking scenery. The most famous of the Bolivian islands is Isla del Sol, a sacred island to the indigenous populations of both Bolivia and Peru, believed to be the birthplace of the Inca god of sun.
