Lake Titicaca, the higest navigable lake

Lake Titicaca, which means Big Cat in the indigenous language, reachs over 3000m. With its speical background related to the Inca Empire, it is not just a pure beautiful blue lake and islands.

Once crossed the border from Peru, my first stop was the touristic city Copacabana (the famous Copacabana beach is named after this city in Bolivia). Excluding the beautiful backdrop of this village, I don't like here, the prices of almost everything were unreasonably double and the faces of local people told me they only wanted to get all the money from my pocket.

However, I still met some nice local people and was deeply touched by the queitness and beauty of this magic lake.

The holy moment. The main church in Copacabana.

This incredibly beautiful sunset over Lake Titicaca was regularly shown at the lakeshore of Copacabana.


I can forget everything here.


From Copacabana, I took the boat to Isla del Sol, the biggest island on the lake and there were many ruins about the old Inca Empire, including the place where the sacrify ceremony of virgin carrying out.

Can you tell which is the sky and which is the lake?

The lake changes its colours under different weathers.

The Inca temple on Isla del Sol, very similar to Machu Picchu.



A very important rock on the Island. Can you see the image of a cat? That is the origin of the name of this lake.

There are thousands of beautiful lakes over the world. What makes the landscapes different? The beauty of cultures and its people. And these are the main reason why I fancy about Bolivia.






Her skin shows the trail of a hard life.

All the indigenous women in Bolivia use this kind of colourful scarf to carry their baby.

The lovely animal living in the Andes area, Vicuna.

You can take a private boat trip back to Copacabana.
