Lake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable
lake and the center of a region where thousands of subsistence
farmers eke out a living fishing in its icy waters, growing potatoes
in the rocky land at its edge or herding llama and alpaca at
altitudes that leave Europeans and North Americans gasping for air.
It is also where traces of the rich Indian past still stubbornly
cling, resisting in past centuries the Spanish conquistadors'
aggressive campaign to erase Inca and preInca cultures and, in
recent times, the lure of modernization.
When Peruvians talk of turquoise blue Titacaca, they proudly note
that it is so large it has waves. This, the most sacred body of
water in the Inca empire and now the natural separation between Peru
and Bolivia, has a surface area exceeding 8,000 square kilometers
(3,100 square miles), not counting its more than 30 islands.
