Lake Titicaca, one of the largest and highest navigable lakes in the world, straddles the border between Bolivia and Peru in the Andes Mountains. It is renowned for its deep blue waters and stunning surrounding landscapes, sitting at an elevation of approximately 3,812 meters (12,507 feet) above sea level. The lake covers an area of about 8,372 square kilometers (3,232 square miles) and includes numerous islands, some of which are inhabited by indigenous communities with rich cultural traditions. The Uros people, for example, live on floating islands made of totora reeds. Lake Titicaca holds significant cultural and historical importance, often considered the birthplace of the Inca civilization according to Andean legend.
