Travel Day to Lago Titicaca

We left Cusco, flew to Lima and then flew to Juliaca where we drove for an hour to Puno.  Tula will be our guide in Puna but Carlos is still with us.

Lake Titicaca is located on a high plateau at 12,600 feet high and is the largest lake in South America and possibly the world. Tula told us a lot about the culture of the region on our hour long drive from the airport to our hotel.  Most of the people in this are are Quechua or Amara and speak only their languages with maybe some Spanish.  Many rivers and springs feed the lake but only one river drains the lake.
