LAKE TITICACA

The lake is located at the northern end of the endorheic Altiplano basin high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. The western part of the lake lies within the Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Bolivian La Paz Department.

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigatable lake in the world at a height of 3200 meters in the Andes mountains. It is a sweet waterlake but there is evidence that it used to contain salt water. In this ecosystem survives a type of seahorse. It is the only species of seahorse living in sweet water.

But the mystery deeepens. In the year 2000 divers discovered manmade structures on the lake floor. A stonewall was discovered, that could be followed for about a mile.
