Puno to Bolivia


A beautiful two day (149km) ride along the lake.














An early morning view across the lake and our first real glimpse of Bolivia and the Cordillera Real with it´s 6400m peaks, 2.5 km above the Altiplano and Lake Titicaca.










The reed beds close to Puno from where the reeds used in the production of the traditional boats and the floating islands are harvested. We cycled through several villages where piles of reeds could be seen drying in preparation.
