The first photo on this page was taken at a historic site of Cusco. The second and the third ones were taken in Taquile Island, which is located in Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world (3811 M, 12,500 ft.). The island has many pre-Inca and Inca ruins and terraces, but hiking around the island is extremely challenging due to the high altitude. I took preventive medicine 48 hours before arriving at the island and therefore I didn't experience any high altitude syndromes.
