|  Re: Lake titicaca Hi there, Lake Titicaca is a beautiful lake that lies on the border between Peru and Bolivia, near Copacabana. According to Incan mythology, it was from Lake Titicaca that the creator god Viracoca rose up to create the sun, moon, stars, and first human beings. Recently, a large temple has being discovered submerged in the lake, which makes it even more fascinating to visit. Lake Titicaca is one of the largest lakes in South America and spans over 100 miles long and over 50 miles wide. What makes Lake Titicaca popular to see is the 41 islands in the lake which are regarded as sacred. The most popular island is the Isla del Sol, which is located on the Bolivia side near Copacabana. Another popular attraction North of the Isla del Sol is the fascinating Chinkana labyrinth. It is a huge stone complex full of mazes, which is thought to have being a training center for Inca priests. Hope this helps VacationBuddy
