"This is rewarding for all local authorities and public institutions that have been supporting the promotion campaign,” said Julián Barra Catacora, executive president of Lake Titicaca Binational Authority (ALT).
Last weekend, Bolivian President Evo Morales also joined ongoing efforts by voting for Lake Titicaca during his visit to the border town of Copacabana.
Lake Titicaca, which straddles Peru and Bolivia, is the highest commercially navigable lake in the world.
By volume of water it is also the largest lake in South America. The lake is located at the northern end of the endorheic Altiplano basin high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia.
It is composed of two nearly separate sub-basins that are connected by the Strait of Tiquina which is 800m across at the narrowest point.
Meanwhile, other Peru nominees including Amazon River and Colca Canyon ranked second and fifth in Groups D and E, respectively.
