Those names lol.

Poopo will be self explanatory for English speakers,but Titicaca sounds like "boob" and "shit", respectively, in Spanish.

Damn, all these jokes, but that sounds pretty fuckin serious. Pretty wild to have such an enormous body of water that high above sea level. "at an altitude of approximately 3,700 m (12,100 ft)."

"In 2002 the lake was designated as a site for conservation under the Ramsar Convention. By December 2015, the lake had completely dried up, leaving only a few marshy areas. Although the lake has dried up completely twice in the past, it does not appear that it will recover this time."

cool. cool. cool. this is fine. Was only the SECOND largest lake in the country.

Are you fucking kidding me?! Those are the names? Lake Titicaca and Lake Poopo?

I know it doesn't mean the same thing in the language it's derived from but oh my god.

I have not the mental fortitude to make a comment here that isn't immature, so I will simply express that much.

I read the lake was saline, but I'm sure there were still plenty of uses, as you mention, despite the salt. But when I first commented it was like everyone was avoiding the elephant in the room, lol. I can't believe the whole thing just disappeared like that, though. Crazy. And even just the height it was at sorta blew my mind.
