Bolivia. Lake Titicaca - the highest lake in the world and the highest navigable lake of the planet (the height of the water mirror is 3810 m above sea level). Lake Titicaca is considered the cradle of the civilization of the Incas and other peoples of the Andes. According to the mythology of the Incas, the world once experienced terrible cataclysms that caused a flood. The earth was plunged into the abyss of darkness and cold, and the human race was on the verge of extinction. Sometime after the flood, the god Viracocha came out from the depths of Lake Titicaca. Traveling around the islands, Viracochi ordered the Sun and Moon to rise and re-created the man and woman and sent them to all four sides, starting the settlement of the world. The lake remains to this day the sacred place of the Andes. At the bottom of the lake was discovered an Indian temple with a wall 800 meters long, whose age is about 1500 years. The nature of the lake is amazingly beautiful. In the picture, I painted a flamingo - a symbol of the fulfillment of desires. In many cultures, this bird was considered a divine creature.
