The western part of the lake belongs to Peru, while the eastern part belongs to Bolivia. It is fed by more than 25 Rivers and has 41 islands, some of which are densely populated. The interesting thing about Lake Titicaca, is it is almost entirely drained by evaporation due to strong sunlight and high winds.
