- Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world. And if you love amazing places, this is one for your bucket list.
Not only does this lake, which sits at 12,507 feet above sea level, connect remote cities in both Peru and Bolivia, but it's home to some of the world's most amazing cultures.
We had the chance to experience two very unique cultures in one incredibly special place. We visit the Uru people, who have been living on floating reed islands in Lake Titicaca for over 1,000 years, and the Taquileano people on Isla Taquile who have adapted to modern times on their own terms.

I am obsessed with Peru, lake Titicaca has always been on my list. It is just as pretty as I always thought it would be
I stayed on Isla Taquile a few years ago, It's a really peaceful place.Peru is an amazing country filled with so many indigenous cultures.The song that the Uru people sang for you when you left the island was really beautiful.
It was beautiful. And the people were so friendly and welcoming. Especially for our children.
Lake Titicaca seems to be so unique. I haven't heard about these different islands but they all seems to be so interesting . Your video made me want to explore these islands myself .
I hope you get the chance to see them for yourself!
Oh wow what a stunning place on the lake - would love to take my kids to experience Lake Titicaca and the reed islands
woah, lucky you to get that boat all to yourselves!! i didn't know about those man made islands. cool that your kids got to play with local kids. looks like an awesome place to visit!
Would love to visit Lake Titicaca--looks like such a great history, beautiful scenes and neat culture! That's awesome you had the boat to yourselves! Looks like a fun visit!
That looks an amazing experience for adults and kids. Those floating reed islands are incredible.
Love looking at all your experiences with your kids! And what a great trip!
Thanks! It was a really awesome adventure!
I love learning about different cultures. What a great experience for your kids.
You sound like me. The wife and kids often sleep in and I'm out exploring before they get up. Lake Titicaca is definitely one place we want to take our vlog to one day. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
LOL! Sometimes before the kids wake up is the only time you can focus :) I can't wait to see your vlog when you make it to Lake Titicaca!
This looked like such an incredible experience. It's amazing how much more travel there is still left for us to uncover. It seems like my list just keeps getting longer.
That's the trouble with travel. The more you do it, the more you realize that there is to see!
This video just excited me! this will be our next trip and it is very an important trip because i was born in Peru but never been yet!!! I'm 33. I was adopted that's why!!
That's amazing! I can't wait to hear all about your trip back to your birthplace. That will be something so special!
wow, there was more to do than I realised on the island!
We're really passionate about history and cultures, so we absolutely loved this video. We just added your trip to our bucket list!
That's awesome to hear! Lake Titicaca is a truly unique place in the world.
Love this video, it's really made us want to explore some lesser-known places, purely for the cultures! Great job with this one!
Thank you!
Watching this video, it is easy to appreciate how Lake Titicaca got it's wonderful reputation. This would be so good to do.
Your kids look like true explorers! Maybe you can collaborate with Tony's duo from Look Who's Blogging? 😀 Love the traditional outfits worn by people there
They love to get around for sure! Great idea about working with Tony!
This is a very different side of South America that very few people manages to showcase. You're indeed doing a great job by showing this culture to everyone. (Also, they stamped your passport? SO COOL!)
It's pretty cool for sure! To get one there and in Machu Picchu was a real treat!
Wonderful to be an honorary island leader! Looks like everyone did well with the altitude. That kept me from visiting but I wish I'd pushed through the discomfort that dogged me for days. Wonderful vlog.
What a bummer that you had trouble with the altitude. We have been very lucky not to have been seriously hit by it yet.
That's so neat they have a passport stamp. I had no idea the lake was so big! Looks like a great place to visit.
It's amazing how huge it is. It's the 18th largest lake in the world!
really nice you got to check out the sunrise before the day started, you did some really cool things, lsla de los Uros is amazing and your information in spot on. great work on this one.
Thanks so much!
What an authentic experience!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Such a cool video with lots of interesting information. I have learned about those floating islands on Lake Titicaca not that long ago and it quickly became an item on my travel bucket list. Last year we were blessed with an opportunity to visit Peru for seven days but we could not make it to Lake Titicaca but we definitely come back to Peru and spend some time there on the lake and take a tour to those islands.
I do hope you make it there. It was an absolutely magical place!
so great to see the Inca people and the most I totally admire you to travel with children - my babygirl is just 1 year old but I try to teach her exploring the world ;)
That's awesome that you are teaching her some global thinking! It's never too early to start!
I really like this one Kev, or should I say your highness..lol. Getting behind the scenes your boys Aree really getting a serious culture injection which is absolutely fantastic and it is true that kids doen't need to speak the same language to communicate. It's something Adults need to learn again or try to remember. Great job!!!
So true Chris. It's amazing how the language of play is universal. And you MAY say your Highness! LOL!
What an amazing experience for the kids, so cool. I'll have to go there sometime soon, adding it to my list!
I like the title / intro sequence, is that new? I had no idea about Lake Titicaca until now, their clothes are so colourful and beautiful!
Still the same one we've been using all along :)
What a great and educatinal trip! I would love to take my future kids on similar trips!
Great videography and photography. I loved it there but I had terrible altitude sickness.
That's such a shame. It can be really debilitating :(

How many feet long and wide is
the biggest Uros Floating Island would you guess?
I would only be guessing, but probably around 400’ x 200’. They are all small villages with multiple huts on each one. Plenty of room to roam.
400 feet long by 200 feet wide?
That is H-U-G-E for an artificial island. Wow..... Amazing.
I am making one in the ocean out of welded aluminum frame filled with sealed oxygen or closed cell foam filled rain barrels. Then with tarp and compost and soil and grass on top. That is why I wanted to know the biggest one they have pulled off so far.
@@SherrickDuncan oh yeah. Some had businesses and multi room thatch rental units on them. Many were powered by solar farms too.
@@SherrickDuncan very cool! What a project.

The dude was genuinely excited to be doing what he does. We had a conversation with him for about 10 minutes about how he was so excited to see children learning about the islands.
uros are not fake people.
