Lake Titca is located on the Koyao Plateau, which borders Bolivia and Peru. It is the highest and largest freshwater lake in South America, and one of the highest-altitude large freshwater lakes in the world. It is also the lake with the highest altitude of the world. It is the third largest lake in South America (after Lake Maracaibo and Lake Patus). The name of Lake Takata in the floating island of the lake is derived from the Indian language of the land, which may mean "the cliff of the jaguar" or "the cliff of the chief". There are different translations such as "cougar rock" (Rock of the Puma) or "lead cliff" (Crag of Lead). There are 52 islands in the lake, most of which are inhabited, and the largest island of Takata has the site of an Inca-era temple and is also a sacred lake for Indians.[1]

    The Lake Takata on the Copacabana side is quieter than Puno and not so commercial. But the weather we stayed in Copacabana for two nights was not very good, so there was no boat tour of the lake, it was still very beautiful to enjoy on the shore, but the wind was a bit strong.

    The scenery is very beautiful in a lake, and there are many very distinctive hotels and resorts here. It is a very leisure place. There are not many tourists. It is relatively cold, but the scenery is really good.

    The Lake Takata is really worth going, with Inca characteristics, charming scenery and zero tickets. In Puno, it only costs 50 Saul to participate in a day trip to the local travel agency. (about 100 yuan) including hotel transfers, ferry tickets, and 2 islands on the Lake Takata (floating islands and taquile islands) are included at noon, which is very cost-effective. Of course, you can choose other lines, and the price personally feels fair.

    We took the tourist bus from Cusco to Puno, and booked the accommodation on the island of Isla Khantatai on the Urus Islands on the floating island. We took a car to pick up and drop off, so there was a car to pick up and drop off to the pier, and a small electric boat to pick up. First buy tickets at a small pavilion on the lake, and then 20 minutes later arrive at the floating island where his family is located. They all step on the reeds barefoot. It seems that it has been so, so the feet will not hurt. As soon as I went to the island, it was just in the evening, the light was very good, and there were beautiful pictures everywhere: the island, the reed room, the hammock, the chair, the observation deck, and a cat. 18:30 dinner came, chicken tomatoes and tortillas. Tonight, there are three of us tourists on this island, very quiet. The next day, after breakfast, his boat made a round of the lake, and left after lunch.

    The lake of Taka (Lago Titicaca), the plateau holy lake in the eyes of the Indians, has been singing gently on the edge of the small city of Puno and the wind of the plateau for thousands of years. It is rumored that the mysterious leader Manko Kapak came from the center of Lake Takata to create the Inca Empire. Early in the morning, take a speedboat from Puno and you can reach the magical floating islands (Islas Flotantes de los Uros). These floating islands are woven from a reed called "Totora". The magic of creation is that the weakest grasses can resist the wind and waves, make strong shelters, and keep the ancient life style of the residents of Aymara alive. As Pascal put it: "Man is nothing but a scorpion, the most fragile thing in nature, but he is a scorpion that can think" watching innocent children jumping around barefoot on thick scorpions, even peeling the freshly picked reeds directly to eat, It is also a "oneness of heaven and man". Farewell to the magical floating island and go to another uniquely independent Tachili Island (Isla Taquile). The altitude here is close to 4,000 meters, and there are about 2,000 Quechua people living on the island. Tachli Island was called "Intika" during the Inca Empire, and the islanders have continued the admonition of "stolen, lying, lazy" during the Inca Empire, retaining a simple folk customs. When we arrived here, the simple villagers with bright smiles played folk music and danced for us. Under the mercy of the difficulties, I also danced a dance number of islands at an altitude of four kilometers to testify to me - travel, let me meet a colorful distance and a more open self.
