That's really not true.
Although she is also known as "Mama Kocha", or "the Mother Lake", most people know her by the name Lake Titicaca, a Spanish corruption of the "Aymaran Titi Karka", which means "Stone-Colored Puma" or "Rock Puma", allegedly because of its resemblance to the shape of a puma hunting a rabbit, combining words from the local languages Quechua and Aymara, and as well as translated as "Crag of Lead."

@AKQJ40 If only I was to talented!

@Tlustei How lovely - they were lovely hosts. Sadly we are no longer travelling every day - but make sure we travel at least three times a year :)

@Chris7771369 You're right - worth every penny! No we didn't make it to Puma Punka. Is that somewhere you would recommend?

Lonely Planet has lists of agencies in Puno who can organise this. Or if you want someone to do everything: GAdventures (formerly GAP) or Tucan. Alternatively just get to Puno and take it from there (which is what we did in 2006). More recent advice on how to do it independently is on their thorn tree website search "Stay overnight on Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca" It really is very straightforward. I'm sure you will love it and I wish it was as easy to do it in other parts of the world.

Wow. This looks like an amazing and moving kind of vacation. I would love to do this sometime? How did manage to obtain them as a host family? Hope you had an amazing time. This is my kind of holiday.

Fantastic Video! Brings back memories of when I was there!

At 12,500 feet in elevation, Lake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable lake.

Indeed they have @isk8erboi ... but as owner of the video I choose to not publish such comments since - having been to the region, benefited from the hospitality, met the people and enjoyed immensely my time there - I find such immature humour offensive. Just because the name of the Lake (when broken down) resembles some American slang, doesn't make it appropriate. I've been lucky enough to have travelled to many countries - why should I allow immature comments to be against my video memories?
