Lake Titicaca is a large, deep lake in the Andes on the border of Bolivia and Peru, often called the "highest navigable lake" in the world. By volume of water and by surface area, it is the largest lake in South America. Lake Maracaibo has a larger surface area, but it is a tidal bay, not a lake.

Before reaching the mountain Antalluku (Andalloco) it turns to the southeast. Now it gets the name Hatun Mayu. After the confluence with Sawap'unqu (Sahuapunco) it receives the name Nuñoa. It flows along Nuñoa and keeps the name until Juruwiña River meets the river as a left tributary. From now on it is called Río Grande. At first the river flows along the border of the districts Nuñoa and Orurillo. Then it crosses Orurillo District and enters Asillo District where it meets Crucero River east of Asillo. [4]
