On our way south from the Inka Trail, we spent a couple days visiting indigenous villages and ancient ruins on Lake Titikaka. One of the most striking memories, besides the smell of fresh lake trout, was the clarity of distant landscapes at 3800 meters (12,000 feet).
Lake Titikaka commute
Reed village of the Uros (near Puno, Peru). The villages are built on top of two meters of floating reeds.
Local woman demostrating how to peel the base of the totora reed for eating, an important source of water and vitamins (not just homebuilding). They´re tastey too!
Copacabana, Bolivia... not quite the hottest spot north of Havana, but the fish stalls along the beach were lovely.
View overlooking the Inka creation site on Isla del Sol, Bolivia. Inka legend has it that the sun and moon were born from a massive red rock just beyond the ruins you see above.
Hi there!
Fisherman out for an evening catch. The setting sun reflected off clouds and the Bolivian peaks of Illampu (6362m) and Ancohuma (6427m), making for a beautiful evening on Isla del Sol.
