Lake Titicaca

07 October 2015 | Puno, Peru
Becky/cold at night, hot in the day
We were picked up at 5:30 am for a 5 hour bus ride to Puno

The city of Puno is located in the south east corner of Peru, on the shores of the magnificent Lake Titicaca the elevation is 12,565 feet.



Downtown Puno


This is where we had lunch


The desserts next store looked amazing!


The streets are very narrow. Denny is standing next to a taxi



After lunch we got on a tour boat


Our tour guide explained the history of Lake Titicaca


Then we went to one of the floating islands - Machaqa Marka


When we got there, the women were gathered together working on preparing the chicken


Even the little guy had to help


The chief (left) of the island was explaining how they keep the island afloat. Basically what he said was they start with grass blocks and tie them together, then they put grass on top and layer it back and forth. The grass top is 12' deep. They have to put new grass on top about once a month. Then they anchor the island so it won't move. There are 112 floating islands on the lake.


The women make these to sell


Those orange fuzzy balls are attached to her long braid


Then Denny and I were invited into a woman's home. It was very small for two adults and two children. She showed us what she made and we bought this, it is a pillow cover.


Then we got into another boat for a ride over to another island - Hananpacha



But before we left we were sung a song




This island had a condor made out of grass


We are waiting for a bus to pick us up at 9:30 pm. We will ride on the bus all night until we reach Cuzco.

Life is good on Kokomo!
