Ra II at Lake Titicaca

Nachbau der Ra II am Ufer des Titicacasee.
In Huatajata am bolivianischen Ufer des Titicacasees betreiben die Brüder Limachi eine
Werft für extrem leichte Boote aus Naturwerkstoffen wie Balsaholz, Binsen und Papyrus.
Ihr bekanntestes Schiff war die zwölf Meter lange Ra II, mit der Thor Heyerdahl 1970 den
Atlantik von Marokko nach Barbados in 57 Tagen überquerte.

Replica of Thor Heyerdahl's Ra II which crossed Atlantic Ocean in 1970.
The ship was constructed on the shore of Lake Titicaca.
