Lake Titicaca

Sprawled across the border of Bolivia and Peru is Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world.

The Aymara Indians where live in the Titicaca basin, long before the Inka conquer these territories. Today, some Aymara groups continue to subsist on fish, much as their ancestors did and to live on floating islands of reeds where they grow potatoes, quinoa, barley and wheat.

Relying on the barter system, this Aymara trade the food they produce for wool.

Otherwise, they depend almost entirely on the lake of their survival.
