It lies at 12,500 feet above sea level and covers 3,200 square miles in the Andes Mountains. The lake stretches 120 miles in length, 50 miles wide at its widest point and has an average depth of 107 meters. The lake is protected under Peruvian law and is currently on the tentative list to become an official World Heritage Sites. It is considered the "highest navigable lake" in the world and is the largest lake in South America. There are many myths associated with the lake. The locals see the lake as a sacred place and the claimed "birthplace of the Incas." Incan mythology says that the first Inca king, Manco Capac, was born at Lake Titicaca. Later god created a wife for him and the Inca empire was born. The shape of the lake is said to illustrate that of a puma hunting a rabbit contributing to the name.

Bolivian Culture Spotlight The World's Most Dangerous Road Bolivia is home to one of the world's most dangerous road, North Yungas Road, also known by its infamous nickname "Death Road" that connects La Paz to the lower region of Coroico in the Yungas region of Bolivia. Stretching for approximately 40 miles in length and only 12 feet wide, the road was constructed in the 1930s by cutting into the side of the Cordillera Oriental mountain chain.

The remains of an ancient lake that dried up between 11,500 and 13,400 years ago, the salt desert is considered the largest in the world, covering over 12,000 square kilometers and estimated to contain over 10 billon tons of salt. The salt flats are considered one of the top wonders of the world by Lonely Plant Travel as visitors experience the vast, serene landscape that stretches to what looks likes the ends of the earth. Tourists explain the feeling of losing the perspective of where the sky ends and the land covered with a thin layer of water begins. Although it is far from any major cities, hotels have been constructed in the area for tourists, many of the which are made almost entirely from salt blocks cut from the flats, offering a unique experience for visits. Not only is this area a jaw-dropping natural wonder, it is rich in natural resources. Each year 25,000 tons are extracted from the area and exported to places around the world. Along with this, the area contains 140 tons of lithium -- which accounts for 7% of the world's known lithium resources -- that is extracted and exported by the Bolivian government. The Bolivian government is very careful to allow exploitation by foreign corporations to protect the area and due to pushback from the local community. Due to the size and stable surface of the area, NASA uses the salt flats to calibrate satellites.
