The first tourist area in Peru
1-Lake Titicaca.
Lake Titicaca is one of the highest lakes in the world, as it is located at an altitude of 3,812 meters above sea level. The lake is located on the border between Peru and Bolivia in the high plateau of the Andes. The average depth of the lake is 107 meters, and its maximum depth is 281 meters and its area is 8,300 square kilometers. The western part of the lake belongs to the Puno region and the other part to the Bolivian department of La Paz. More than 25 rivers flow into the lake, and it has more than 40 islands, some inhabited. Some of these islands contain the remnants of Indian civilizations before the Spanish invasion of South America in the sixteenth century AD.
Titicaca feeds from rain and melting ice in the Andes and loses part of its water that flows into the Desagadero River, which flows south through Bolivia until it reaches Lake Bobo in Bolivia. The largest part of the lake is what it loses from the evaporation of its water due to strong winds and strong sunlight.
