Titicaca - Raza Ecuador(Album"Spirit") [14:25]
Lake Titicaca; is a lake located in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. It sits 3811 m (12500 ft) above sea level, making it the highest commercially navigable lake in the world. By volume of water, it is also the largest lake in South America Lake Maracaibo has a larger surface area, but it is often disregarded because it is directly connected to the sea. The origin of the name Titicaca is unknown. It has been translated as "Rock Puma," as local communities have traditionally interpreted the shape of the lake to be that of a puma hunting a rabbit. "Titicaca" combines words from the local languages Quechua and Aymara. The word is also translated as "Crag of Lead." Locally, the lake goes by several names. Because the southeast quarter of the lake is separate from the main body (connected only by the Strait of Tiquina), the Bolivians call it Lago Huiñaymarca (Quechua: Wiñay Marka) and the larger part Lago Chucuito. In Peru, these smaller and larger parts are referred to as Lago Pequeño and Lago Grande, respectively. The cold sources and winds over the lake give it an average surface temperature of 10 to 14 °C (50 to 57 °F). In the winter (June--September), mixing occurs with the deeper waters, which are always between 10 to 11 °C (50 to 52 °F) Titicaca is notable for a population of people who live on the Uros, a group of 44 or so artificial islands made of floating reeds (totora, a reed that abounds in the shallows of the lake).

Video #23 - Quito, Ecuador - Hostel Chicago [01:01]
View from the top floor of the Hostel Chicago where I spent my last night in Ecuador. The city is situated 9200 feet above sea level, and you can tell it walking up the hills of the city. Clouds hanging in between the mountains. Got to cross the Equator heading from Atacames down to Quito.

Video #6 - Hosteria Izhcayluma in Vilcabamba, Ecuador [04:12]
Video taken at the hosteria which only costs $30 US per night (tax was included in the price in all hostals/hosterias I stayed in in Ecuador), an incredibly cheap price for the setting on a hillside, the quality of the finishes in the room, and the fact that a great breakfast is included for the price. A later video will show the view looking down the hill into the city of Vilcabamba. It was great to wake up in the morning, look out the window, and see clouds moving by at eye level.
