Isla del Sol - Lago Titicaca - Bolivia

One of the most sacred place in Inca/Quechua mythology. This Island - and especially the "Roca Sagrada" - is supposed to be the birth place of Manco Capa and Mama Ocllo, sons of the Sun God and founders of Cuzco and all the andean civilisation.

 

This picture was taken at the very end of the Island with the (unperfect) sweep-panorama mode, which simulate a wide-angle.

 

This picture made a discrete apparition on Explore on the 1st of February 2015.
