Lake Titicaca Located
in the department of Puno, with a surface area of 36 180 hectares,
the national reserve in practically its entirety covers the world's
highest navigable lake.
The Titicaca Reserve is split into two separate sectors: the first,
which lies in the Bay of Puno itself, protects the totora reed clumps
which provide sustenance to the Uros-Chulluni communities; the second,
which is located in the Huancané area, features less-visited
totora marshes, but which are equally rich in species and just as
interesting. In the area there are 60 bird species, including the
Titicaca grebe, 14 native fish species and 18 types of amphibians,
including the giant Titicaca toad.
"The dark water
at the southeast end of Lake Titicaca contrasts dramatically with
the rugged semi-desert in this detailed view of the area. The sparsely
vegetated semiarid landscape helps to accentuate the topographic
features that are found along the south shore of the lake. At least
three eroded volcanic structures are visible; the largest one can
be easily identified by the radial drainage pattern (western quadrant
of the image). Maximum elevation of this volcano is 15718 feet (4790
meters) above sea level. The Strait of Tiguina connects the smaller
southeast end of Lake Titicaca with the main part of the lake. Although
the town of Copacabana, located along the northwest coast of the
T-shaped peninsula, is not identifiable on this image, it is a site
where Inca ruins can be visited."
