Isla del Sol

The worlds highest navigable lake the Lake Titikaka contains the Isla del  Sol, Island of the Sun. The islands holds a sacred place for the local indigenous who believe the island to be the birth place of the Sun and the origin of their people. The island is doted with Incan ruins and remnants of ancient civilisations from before the Incas. At 4300 metres the surrounding landscape is blanketed by a layer of cloud. The thin air is noticeable and so are the  snowcapped peaks that pop through the clouds horizontally across from the lake.
