July 3rd 2009 16:06
There are so many places on Earth that are worth visiting and in this blog I have always tried to write about some of the best places to visit around the world. Here in this post I will introduce some facts about a well known lake, which is a good place to spend your vacation at.
Lake Titicaca is situated in East Central South America. Although not the largest lake yet it holds the record for being the highest commercially navigatable lake in the world. Its height above sea level is about 3,810 m/12,500 ft. It extends all the way from south eastern Peru to western Bolivia covering a length of 196 km and has an average width of 56 km.
Lake Titicaca is important not just for its water navigation but also for its archaeology. It holds the key to study the early lives of the Native American people that lived centuries back. Here you can navigate the whole lake visit the archaeological sites and also look into the culture and life style of the local people.
Here most of the people are farmers are fisher men and rely on the lake's water for their survival. But once you visit the people you will surely encounter a new experience in your travel voyages.
A ferry service runs between these two countries. The ferries can also be used to navigate through the many different island each holding some cultural, archaeological importance.
