Lake Titikaka photos

The beautiful lake Titikaka


The local women came to welcome us when we arrived on the island for our homestay - our "mama" was third from the left looking left
 Me on my bed for the night, looking a bit apprehensive!

 We hiked to the top of the mountain on the island, beautiful views

After dinner they dressed us up in traditional gear - probably to laugh at the gringos - i was so uncomfortable in all the layers. Think i am more comfortable in western dress

 On our way back in the morning we visited the floating isands in the lake - literally made of reeds and floating on the water (anchored with rope and stones and can be moved around)

Beautiful views from the top of a Puno hill after a small hike to see an old necropolyis, pre Inca times
