Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, beautiful blue water though too chilly to dip in. Marian and I got to visit two islands on the lake inhabited by local Uros and Qechua people. The first set of islands were man-made "floating islands" that the Uros made from reeds and natural cork-like blocks. The 2nd island, Isla Taquile was idealic, overlooking the cordilleros blancas of Bolivia. The hike up to the top was breathless as well as breathtaking as it is more than 14,000 feet in elevation.
