Lake Titicaca, Bolivia and Peru
The largest lake in South America, Titicaca straddles the border between Bolivia and Peru. High in the Andes, the lake is a vast stretch of water that shimmers a deep blue, ready for every photo opportunity.
It’s much more than just a pretty lake, though — it holds great significance in indigenous culture, believed by Andeans to be the birthplace of the sun. Some old traditions still hang on here, and visitors can get a glimpse of a place where crops are still grown by hand, llamas are pets, and women wear bowler hats in the fields.
