Lake Titicaca's Absolute Essentials

Situated at 3,812 meters above sea level, Lake Titicaca spans the border of Peru and Bolivia.

Natural sites include the Titicaca National Reserve and Lake Umayo, while strategic waterways like the Strait of Tiquina and Estrecho de Yampupata connect the lake’s major islands and peninsulas.
