Lake Titikaka


We get to Puno by bus from La Paz at night and it seems uncharming. However our hotel is very pleasant. After a good night sleep we are ready to explore, we visit an Inca and pre-inca burial ground on the top on a hill with a magnificent view of a salt lake lagoon. On the way back we stop to visit a farm and the kids gets excited to see guinea pigs and lamas. Next day we take a tour to enjoy Lake Titikaka...we stoped on the floating island build of straw. Touristic but still interesting. Then we have a 2h30 boat trip to Taquile island. The island has an esquisite flavor with a very distinct population and nature. We climb to the village where we enjoy a magnificent view of the lake...it has a Mediterranean color except for the fact you see the Bolivian mountain with snowy peak on the other side of the lake. On the way down we take another path 500 plus cobblestone steps. We are the last one to get on the boat! Oh well there were too many pictures to take.
