Trip to Lake Titicaca
A trip to the Bolivian Sea
A visit to Lake Titicaca (3,815 m above sea level) is one of the most itineraries in Peru and Bolivia and it is not surprising: you will find the beautiful landscape around the lake, interesting customs on the individual islands and for the harder and the opportunity to swim at a really high altitude. Expect at least four days in this area, but you won't be bored here for a week.
