La Paz
The Lake Titikaka is perhaps the most magical and popular destination in Bolivia. Better known as Sacred Lake, it is one of the most important tourist attractions in the country as well as the highest navigable lake in the world at 3810 meters above the sea level.
Among the secrets and pearls of the lake is the Sun Island, a destination of great natural beauty. Its terraces of crops and blue lake in the background, along with its ancient ruins and archaic traditions create a magical atmosphere incomparable to any other place in the world.
Enhance Travel has created a complete package that will allow you discover these fascinating sites and live an unforgettable experience.
