For thousands of years the greatest civilizations have had many stories of their origin. Legend has it that the Sun placed his two children, male and female, on the Island of Lake Titicaca, later named as Island of the Sun.

The Island of the Sun was known to early inhabitants as Titicaca ("Rock of the Puma"), the name which was eventually given to the entire lake. The island remains today one of the most sacred and spiritual sites in the Andes.
