At 12,520 feet, Lake Titicaca in Bolivia is the highest navigable lake in the world. Lake Titicaca is about 70 miles north east of La Paz, the Capitol of Bolivia, and lies along the boarder between Bolivia and Chile. Lake Titicaca has been used for transportation, food and commerce since Native Americans migrated to South America. The explorer THOR HEYERDAHL of KON-TIKI fame began his search for the ancestors of Easter Island on Lake Titicaca, where early navigators constructed reed rafts similar to those that the Phoenicians used to sail the Mediterranean. HEYERDAHL made the 4000 mile trip from South America to Easter Island on a reed raft in an attempt to prove that early humans migrated by boats as well as land bridges which connected continents such as the connection of Alaska and Asia over the Bearing Straits. |
