Where Lake Titicaca, Peru
When 1971
Photographer Luis Marden

“The wind-powered ferry shuttles people and automobiles across the choppy Strait of Tiquina, separating the lake’s two main segments. Steamboats and hydrofoils also ply Titicaca—highest of all navigable lakes.”

(Text from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Titicaca, Abode of the Sun," February 1971, National Geographic magazine)
