The lake is located at the northern end of the endorheic Altiplano basin high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. The western part of the lake lies within the Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Bolivian La Paz Department.
At an altitude of more than 12,500 feet, Lake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable lake. The Incas call it the "womb of mankind" and the people who live on its shores believe they are among the world's oldest civilization. The 110-mile-long lake sits on the border of Bolivia and Peru ringed by farms and rugged cliffs and dotted with islands.
