Welcome to La Paz, Bolivia (HUATAJATA)
Huatajata is located in the shores of the Titicaca Lake, the highest navigable lake in the world, located at 3856 meters above sea level. Its shores and small islands are home to the Aymara and Quechua who come from ancient cultures that lived in this area long before the Incas dominate. Here visitors can explore traditional villages where Spanish is the second language and where ancient myths and beliefs persist even today. One of the peculiarities of Lake Titicaca are the small floating islands inhabited by a tribe called the Uros. In these small islands visitors are welcomed and can even ride in one of the famous reed boats.

3.00The tour description is not fully accurate. The transport to the island of Parity was not in a reed boat, but in a motor boat. We did get a short ride in a reed boat, but only 5 mins and we even had to pay 50 Bs per person extra for it. Apart from that, the tour is a great way to discover Titicaca away from the crowds. The island of Parity is a real hidden gem, with a surprising archeology museum and a wonderful viewpoint on the hill. The reed boat museum and lunch were also good.
