About Titicaca
Titicaca National Reserve encompasses two sectors of Lake Titicaca's Peruvian shores and floating totora reed beds, protecting the world's highest navigable lake ecosystem at 3,810 meters. The reserve is a Ramsar wetland and critical habitat for several endemic species including the giant Titicaca water frog and the flightless Titicaca grebe. The floating Uros islands, constructed from totora reeds by local communities, fall within the reserve and represent a living cultural tradition.
