Isla Pariti
A small island in the southern Lesser Lake of Lake Titicaca. Its island museum displays exquisite Tiwanaku painted pottery unearthed in 2004.
Isla Pariti lies in the southern Lesser Lake of Lake Titicaca. In 2004, a Finnish and Bolivian archaeological team discovered large numbers of painted pottery and ritual objects from the Tiwanaku period on the island. The community then built a small museum, and the quality of its collection is remarkable. The island also has a fishing village and lakeside walking trails. Boats can be hired from the Huatajata or Chagüe area, a trip of about 30-40 minutes. It is often visited together with the reed-boat tour of Isla Suriqui.
