| Golden Triangle of Lake Titicaca (Per |  | Lake Titicaca is the world`s highest navigable lake, lying at 12,500 feet above sea level. It covers some 3,200 square miles and extends in a northwest-to-southeast direction for a distance of 120 miles. It is 50 miles across at its widest point. A narrow strait, Tiquina, separates the lake into two bodies of water. Forty-one islands, some of them densely populated, rise from Titicaca`s waters, being the largest one Sun Island, which lies just off the tip of the Copacabana Peninsula in Bolivia.
Ruins on the shore and on the islands attest to the previous existence of one of the oldest civilizations known in the Americas, antedating the Christian era. The chief site is at Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, at the southern end of the lake. On Sun Island ruins of a temple mark the spot where, according to the tradition of the Incas, the legendary founders of the Inca dynasty, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, were sent down to Earth by the Sun. In Inka mythology, the children of the Sun, emerged from the depths of Lake Titicaca to found their empire. Like famous naturalist Jacques Cousteau, You will surely feel the same emotion that captivated the symbolic universe of the ancient Peruvians. With lofty snow-capped peaks along its far shores, the vast blue lake is one of the Andes` most enchanting scenes! |
