The traintracks and a village on the Altiplano.

Straddling Peru's southern border with landlocked Bolivia are the deep, sapphire-blue waters of mystical Lake Titicaca. This gigantic inland sea covers 8000 square km's and is the highest navigable lake in the world, at 3856 m. above sea level. Its shores and islands are home to one of Peru's oldest peoples who predate the Incas by a thousand years. One walk through traditional villages where Spanish is a second language and where ancient myths and beliefs still hold true. Footprint handbooks
