Bolivian Culture Spotlight


Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca creates a natural border between western Peru and the east side of Bolivia.  It lies at 12,500 feet above sea level and covers 3,200 square miles in the Andes Mountains.  The lake stretches 120 miles in length, 50 miles wide at its widest point and has an average depth of 107 meters.  The lake is protected under Peruvian law and is currently on the tentative list to become an official World Heritage Sites.  It is considered the "highest navigable lake" in the world and is the largest lake in South America.

There are many myths associated with the lake.  The locals see the lake as a sacred place and the claimed "birthplace of the Incas."  Incan mythology says that the first Inca king, Manco Capac, was born at Lake Titicaca.  Later god created a wife for him and the Inca empire was born.  The shape of the lake is said to illustrate that of a puma hunting a rabbit contributing to the name.
