Lake Titicaca stretches across Peru and Bolivia, surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of the Andean highlands and communities that continue to preserve centuries old traditions. Sitting at more than 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) above sea level, its waters are home to natural islands and the famous floating Uros Islands. Its history is deeply connected to ancient Andean cultures and stories passed down through generations. Today, Lake Titicaca remains one of the most iconic destinations in the Andes.
