Lake Titicaca

In the past, Lake Titicaca, has already been the centre of the Andean Altiplano region and is known as the holy lake, Lago Sagrado, among inhabitants of the region. With its high altitude (12,500 ft) and vast surface (3,200 sq miles), Lake Titicaca is the largest lake on the continent and the highest navigable lake in the world. In the uneven shape of its shore, one's imagination can easily see a puma, holding a rabbit-like animal in its paws. Indeed, the lake bears the name of the puma - in the languages of the Aymara and the Ketchua peoples Titicaca translates as Grey Puma or Rock Puma. In the past, the image of puma represented a holy image of life on Earth. In the period of the pre-Inca civilizations, Tiawanako, Collas and Llupacas, the lake was home to god Wiracocha, reigning on Altiplan as the Son of the Sun God.
