2013 Nov. Lake Titicaca. Uros. Taquile.
Lake Titicaca, located in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia, is the largest lake in South America, and the highest navigable lake in the world with a surface elevation of 3,812m (12,507ft).
A short boat ride from Puno, we arrive in Uros, which is a group of 44 or so artificial islands made of floating reeds (totora). The purpose of the island settlements was originally defensive, and if a threat arose they could be moved.
