The Humamarka name comes from the Aymara language and means “land of water”, which is a very accurate description of this beautiful tourist destination at Bolivia. This is a small community located on the Titicaca Lake shores, in the Pillapi San Agustin canton, just 40 minutes from the Tiahuanacu municipality, in the La Paz department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 69 registered bird species, it is an ideal birdwatching destination. Among the most important species is the Titicaca Grebe (Rollandia microptera), known locally as Kenu, which is in extinction danger.
An endangered species, the Pariguana (Phoenicoparrus andinus), and the Giant Coot (Fulica gigantea), which is in a vulnerable state, can also be found here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this destination, the community members offer a variety of tourist activities. One is a boat tour and visit to the lake bird viewpoint, with local guides trained in ornithology. From this place a wide variety of native and migrant birds can be observed, in accordance with the time of the year.<\/p>

There are also hikes along the trails that surround the community to appreciate the area’s natural
beauty, in addition to getting to learning about the local culture, visiting the farms, and learning about
the ancestral farming techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In gastronomy terms, the region offers a wide variety of delicious dishes made with fresh fish from the
lake, including the famous wallake, a native soup that cannot be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this place, all the services are offered by the community inhabitants themselves, which allows
authentic interaction with the local culture and inhabitants. In addition, its activities are designed in
such a way that they do not affect its natural environment in order to protect the species that live there
and that are part of the attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
