LAKE TITICACA BOLIVIA at an altitude of 3,812 metres (12,507 feet) in the
Andes mountains. A lone Aymara fisherman with his totora reed bundle raft or balsa.
At one time the sails for these boats would have been sheets made from totora
reed but by the 1960s the reed had been replaced by cotton. A dense bed of totora
reed can be seen growing in the foreground.
