La Paz, May 19 (ANDINA).- Lake Titicaca, a nomination shared by Peru and Bolivia, returned to new seven wonders of nature competition and now ranks first in the Group F, which includes lakes, rivers and waterfalls.
Titicaca was suspended of the wonders of nature contest on May 15 after a Bolivian private enterprise conducted a promotion event, which did not have organizers’ authorization.
Before its suspension Lake Titicaca ranked fourth in the Group F, and today, May 19, it moved up to first position, which reflects voters’ preference, said Julian Barra Catacora, executive chairman of the Binational Authority of Lake Titicaca (ALT).
"Now, we have to continue promoting the tourist potentials of Lake Titicaca through various promotional activities organized by public sector," he said.
Barra also asked Peruvian and Bolivian people to actively support Lake Titicaca in its bid to be voted one of the seven natural wonders.
