Their picturesque canoes that they use to live off tourism and even as food since this root is very nutritious and widely available.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, <a title=\"Origin of Lake Titicaca\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/peru\/lake-titicaca-what-to-visit\/\">Lake Titicaca<\/a> is divided into two sectors: the land sector and the water sector.
