Lake Titicaca (Bolivian Coast)

Born from the legends of Incan lore, Lake Titicaca is a beautiful and most venerated lake that hides a 1,500-year-old mystery in the depths of the calm blue waters. A temple submerged was discovered marking the birthplace and origins of the Incas wherein according to legend, after a great flood, the god Viracocha sprung from the lake to create the world, the sun, moon, stars, and finally man. Lake Titicaca is surrounded by 41 other islands in the lake also deemed sacred. It is home to 530 aquatic species and has a large population of water birds. The shorelines meets the mountains and many visitors can venture to hike lost coves, floating islands and explore Bolivia, its culture and traditions.
