Riding the Gray Puma

I first learned of the existence of Lake Titicaca the way I think most people growing up during the 1980s learned it—as the giggle-inducing answer to the Trivial Pursuit geography question, “What is the world’s highest lake?” That’s how I remember the question, anyway. Turns out that Lake Titicaca, at around 12,000 feet above sea level, as the world’s highest navigable lake, straddling the border between Peru and Bolivia. After nearly two weeks of hiking mountains and wandering around Inca ruins, we finished our Peruvian odyssey on a boat, cruising the placid sapphire waters of Lake Titicaca.
