Lake Titicaca is famed as the worlds highest navigatable lake in the world. It is huge spanning over a hundered km in one direction and just under half that in the other. The Lake also has something unique to any other that is a group of indiginous people that have built and inhabit islands made from reeds. The Reed Island are a few meters thick and last for about thirty years, the best part about the Reed Island is if you get sick of your neihbours you just saw off a section around your house and join another Island.
After our Reed Island excursion and my first purchase of a tapestry we headed to our home stay program on the largest Island of Lake titicaca. On the Island we stayed with a host family who dressed us up and paraded us around infront of the other Islanders in our authentic garb, there wasn{t alot of commnutication so our dinners were a spatter of thankyous and delicious in Amirain (there native language) and Spanish.
