Virgins Temple “Iñak Uyu”, an important sacred place on Lake Titicaca where the insistent beating

of the waves whispers memories of the past. For the Inca State, women were fundamental,

achieving a textile, agricultural, cultural and religious development. Thanks to the dedication of

these young maidens, today we can count on dehydrated derivatives of different types of

potatoes, such as “chuño” and “tunta”. The temple is characterized by its forward vaulting

technique and its trapezoidal and stepped elements. Continue to the mythical Sun Island, a

The Bolivian Andes offer stunning sceneries which can be hardly matched. The sound of silence makes the heart beats faster and the surreal pentagons of crystalline salt, the pure sky and the cacti, certainly makes you feel that there is no other place like this in the whole world.
