Lake Titicaca Sunrise

One of my favorite places when I visited Peru in April was the famous Lake Titicaca in Puno. At 12,500 feet above sea level and nestled between Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is the highest commercially navigable lake in the world. The lake has a fascinating history: Incan mythology cites it as the place from which the rest of the world emerged. On any trip to Peru a visit to Lake Titicaca is a must-do, and make sure to wake up early enough one morning to catch a beautiful sunrise over the lake.

Thanks Lara. I took my husband to Peru for 2 weeks for his 40th birthday and we absolutely loved it. We started in the Peruvian Amazon (which I highly recommend - we stayed at the Inkaterra Reserva Amazonica and loved it: http://www.inkaterra.com/en/reserva-amazonica), then went on to Puno (of Lake Titicaca fame), Cuzco (our favorite town), Machu Picchu, and briefly Lima. A great place to visit with really friendly, welcoming people - you won't be disappointed!
