Le lac Titicaca, situé dans la cordillère des Andes, est traversé par la frontière entre la Bolivie et le Pérou. C'est le plus grand lac d'Amérique du Sud en volume d'eau et en longueur, mais pas en superficie (le lac Maracaibo couvre une superficie de plus de 13 000 km2). Il est aussi considéré comme le plus haut lac navigable du monde (altitude : 3 812 m), mais ce n'est rigoureusement exact que si on limite cette acception aux navires commerciaux de grande taille. C'est par ce lac qu'est née la culture aymara avant la colonisation et la christianisation. Il existe une légende en relation avec ce lac : le premier dieu Viracocha a surgi de ce lac et a créé le monde ainsi que toutes les civilisations des Andes.
