Lago Titikaka - Isla del Sol, Bolivia

And from La Paz to the beauty and peace of Lake Titikaka. We took a bus from La Paz to Copacabana, the best city in Bolvia to access the lake. On the way to Copacabana, we could get a preview of what we were going to see on the next day...



From Copacabana to Isla del Sol, the biggest island on the lake (at the Bolivian side) it was a nice 3-hour-ride by boat. The boat drops you at the north side of the island and to reach the south side of the island there is a 15km trek, trough a Inca trail. The trail is surrounded by Inca ruins and marvellous landscapes.

We spent the night on the south side and were rewarded by the most beautiful sunset and moonrise of this trip. At night, the island becomes a peaceful and quiet little place, witha few backpackers and locals hanging around. Certainly one of the highlights of this trip for me.

Isla del Sol is also considered to be the origin of the Inca civilization before the foundation of Cuzco.
