Travel Pics-Lake Titicaca, Peru

I just noticed it has been a really long time since I posted any of my travel pics.  Here are some old pics of Lake Titcaca that I took during my study abroad in Peru.  We took a boat tour of two islands on the lake. Titicaca was such a beautiful and other-worldly place, like nothing else I have seen.  If you plan to visit Peru, Lake Titicaca is not to be missed!


Approaching one of the floating islands of Uros...



These islands are made entirely out of reeds that grow 
in the lake: the houses, boats, even the island itself are made from them. 

Flamingos. 

Indigenous people dressed in traditional clothing sang us a song.



    We got to ride in a reed boat to the next island. 










Snow-capped mountains in the distance towards the Bolivian border. 






A traditional dance for us on another island.  




Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse of Peru.  I will be posting more travel photos and articles soon, because I will be visiting in Guatemala in 2 weeks!  

So, what place have you visited that you think has an other-worldly feel?
