I'm back in cusco, Peru after three days on Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun) on Lake Titcaca, Bolivia. The lake is the highest navigable lake in the world, and is 3800m above sea level. Im aclimatised to the altitude after more than a week at the altitude of Cusco (3500m). The islands inhabitants are indian and live traditionally, using donkeys and uman power to carry water, and indeed everything up the 150 hill to their villages. Isla del Sol is thought to be the birthplace of the Inca empire.
Ah, and the beer is great, but very fizzy at this altitude.
