Peru gets the "Titi"

PERU | Friday, 11 Jan 2008 | Views [1340]

There aren't many lakes in the world that have two foul words in their name. But the world's highest navigable lake does: Lake Titicaca. The border of Peru and Bolivia slices straight down the centre of the lake, therefore Peru gets the "Titi"... Read more >
