Lake Titicaca from Peru Trip in 2003, Peru & Bolivia
Traveled to Lake Titicaca from Machu Picchu while visiting small towns in between.
Puno, Peru
On the way to Lake Titicaca, stopped at Andahuaylillas to see the Church of San Pedro.
The next stop was Raqch’i to see Temple of Wiracocha, an Inca archaeological site. Wiracocha, was a deity, believed to be the giver of all life, according the Incas.
The town of Sicuani
La Raya, the highest point from Machu Picchu to Lake Titicaca
Another small town before the destination, Puno
Stopped at Puno, a largest town around Lake Titicaca. Went out to see the lake.
A long times ago, people lived in this kind of floating village, but it is now a reenactment for tourists
In order to go to the Sun and Moon islands in Lake Titicaca, I had to go to Bolivia side because these two islands are in Bolivia. I stopped at the Copacabana, a town on the Bolivia side. The cathedral shown is Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana.
The cars are decorated and waiting in front of the Basilica to get blessing so that the vehicle would be accident-free.
I took a boat ride and arrived at Isla de la Luna.
Then went to Isla Del Sol.
The Puno streets.
The market.
A parade was happening.
The main street, Puno.
Puno Cathedral and the squre.
