Geography
The strait is 850 m (2,790 ft) across at its narrowest point. It joins the upper lake, Lake Chucuito, and the lower (and smaller) lake, Lake Wiñaymarka (or Lake Pequeño, "little lake"). The entire lake is called Lake Titicaca and is the largest lake, by volume, in South America. It is situated on the border of Bolivia and Peru.
To save the distance around Lago Pequeno, buses and cars cross the strait on barges or canoes, the passengers usually separate from the heavier vehicles.[1] The crossing runs between the towns of San Pedro de Tiquina and San Pablo de Tiquina.

gollark: Huh, apparently there's a section on boat hull designs because of course.
