Bolivia lays claim to having many of the world's highest things- La Paz is the world's highest capital at 11,800 feet above sea level (and FIFA even had a ban on playing soccer games at this altitude until recently), Lake Titicaca being "the world's highest nagivable lake" (technically not correct as small craft can go in several higher lakes, but Titicaca has a max depth of over 400 meters), etc.
After working at Hospital Universitario Japones for a week and a half, it was necessary to return to the Peruvian border to get some research equipment that our Peruvian colleagues were taking to the border for us. This trip was a great excuse to visit the famous Lake Titicaca (Copacabana and Isla del Sol) and the pre-Incan ruins at Tiwanaku.
