Discovering Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca is a beautiful and much venerated sacred area that lies on the border between Peru and Bolivia. At 3,200 square miles in size and up to 1000ft in depth, Titicaca is one of the largest, highest, and deepest lakes in the world.According to local mythology Lake Titicaca was the birth place of the Incas, whose spirits return to the depths of the lake upon death. In 2000 an expedition discovered a submerged temple the size of 2 football fields beneath the waters.
There is an eventual plan to bring the temple to the surface; however locals are fearful of the effects that such disrespect of the sacred lake might bring.
