Lake Titicaca, at an altitude of more than 12,000 feet, is the highest navigable body of water in the world. Boats built of bundles of totora reeds, called balsas, have plied...

"Bolivia es una tierra de gran belleza y árida grandeza. Pequeña en cuanto a su población, sin embargo posee dos capitales y un lago que es más alto que muchas montañas, el cual, a una altitud de 3.810 metros sobre el nivel del mar, es el cuerpo de agua navegable más elevado del mundo. Balsas construidas con atados de caña totora han surcado esas aguas por miles de años y ahora contrastan de manera singular con los modernos barcos a vapor..."

"La música mestiza comenzó a desarrollarse poco tiempo después de la conquista de la tierra de Huitzilopochtl por Cortés. Hoy, más de cuatro siglos después, las raíces españolas pueden ser claramente reconocidas en muchas de las danzas y canciones que no preservan un exclusivo carácter indígena, pero de cualquier manera esta música ya no puede ser llamada española. Las sutiles pero profundas transformaciones han acomodado las expresiones musicales al carácter de la gente y del terreno de cada región..."
