Lake Titicaca it is the highest lake in the world
Lake Titicaca is one of the largest and highest freshwater lakes in the world, with its 3820m of altitude. One might think that it is hostile, but it is not so, it is very navigable.
Delicious Meal
Trout is a very delicious fish, caught in Lake Titicaca, although the main suppliers of this fish are the hatcheries of the inhabitants of Copacabana.
