Titicaca
is situated in 3.8km height. You feel the thin air when you are doing some
exercise, walking with your backpack up hill or rowing in a kayak.
We
hired a Metusalem or medusa kayak in Copacabana. Hmmmmm, it was really in a
bad shape - but you have to take what you can get! So it was ok and we made our
own covers - simply by plastic and rubber band for underwear - very cheap and it
worked nicely. We
had a paddle tour of nearly 16km in very nice surroundings - you should try.
Before we came to 1010caca I had a dream about
rowing a complete round in the lake - well. I changed my mind because the lake
is biiiiig like an ocean and it would be something between 6 - 800 km all way
round. This would properly not be interesting enough because the landscape don't
vary that much. On the other hand I guess that
I would meet many locals - which I do like much.
