  1. Titicaca is indeed in Peru and is considered the birthplace of Inca culture. Its a very special and mystical place.


  2. Hiya,

    You will be glad to know that you are indeed right!!!

    :-)

    Lake Titicaca is the highest commercially navigable lake in the world, at 3,812 m (12,507 feet) above sea level. Located in the Altiplano high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia, at 16°S 69°W, Titicaca has an average depth of 107 m, and a maximum depth of 281 m. The western part of the lake belongs to the Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Bolivian La Paz Department.

    More than 25 rivers empty into Titicaca, and the lake has 41 islands, some of which are densely populated.

    Titicaca is fed by rainfall and meltwater from glaciers on the sierras that abut the Altiplano. It is drained by the Desaguadero River, which flows south through Bolivia to Lake Poopó. This accounts for less than five percent of the lake's water loss, however, the rest is caused by evaporation as a result of the strong winds and sunlight at this altitude

    Hope this helps!

  3. yea Lake Titicacais the highest navigable lake in the world. It is in Peru .

    Titi para el Peru i Caca para Bolivia

  4. Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable body of water in the world, is on the Peruvian/Bolivian border.

  5. yes, there is a lake titicaca. i know it sounds funny, but its true. show your sister a map and prove her wrong(not in a mean way)!!

  6. You can show an atlas to your sister, or just google it for her and show her that Lake Titicaca is a true lake. It is in the deparment of Puno (Peru) and it is shared between Peru and Bolivia. It has many many islands inside which are beautiful. And as the first answerer said (I cannot understand why the thumbs down!) it is the highest lake in the world which you can sail. This lake is suppose to be where the first Inca came out (sent by the god Sun) to build the Inca Empire.

  7. You ARE!!!
