Day Seven: Lake Titicaca, Peru

Some random wildlife. Shot taken from inside the bus.
Hey Folks!

After another long bus ride Amber and I arrived in the city of Puno. Puno is on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca is the world's highest inhabited lake. Approximately three times the elevation of Calgary Amber and I were worried about elevation sickness.

From the bus stop we called our transportation to the small island of Taquiele. Check out some of the shots below!

Welcome to Taquiele!
Burning garbage I guess?

Sexy!

These two birds next moved the entire time we were there.



Our dinner.

Right after dinner Amber got extremely sick. She couldn't keep anything down. The food was delicious and perfectly fresh so we figured it was elevation sickness. We had intended on staying on the islands for 3 nights but neither of us were in the mood.

After a interesting night on Taquiele, Amber and I were back to Puno to get healthy. 





Great view from the top.
