A visit to the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, including a day hike on the Island of the SunEasily accessible from both Puno, Peru and La Paz, Bolivia, this three day tour lets you enjoy the more spectacular Bolivian side of the world’s highest navigable lake … and appreciate what the ‘seaside’ is like for a land-locked country!
Day 1: Puno/La Paz - Copacabana
The tour departs Puno or La Paz travelling by bus to Copacabana.
On arrival in the relaxed lakeside resort of Copacabana, we have lunch in El Condor The Eagle Cafe.
In the afternoon, we visit the beautiful baroque-Moorish style Virgen de la Candelaria Church and the nearby handicraft market. If you are feeling energetic you can also climb the hill to The Calvary, which is a unique monument merging native religious beliefs and Christianity.
Day 2: Lake Titicaca: Island of the Sun: Yumani - Challapampa
This morning, we take a boat from Copacabana to Yumani, from where we take a four hour hike along the ancient Inca paths, travelling South to North, experiencing marvellous views of the lake. A packed lunch is provided for the hike.
In the afternoon we will arrive at the Chinkana Inca Temple and Sacred Rock. Hiking a little further we reach Challapampa, which is a charming village with a small, local Inca museum.
From Challapampa, we return by motorboat to Copacabana.
Day 3: Copacabana – La Paz / Puno
Waking up with views of Lake Titicaca and the backdrop of the Cordillera Real, we have the morning free: a visit to La Horca del Inca astronomic observatory is recommended.
In the afternoon, we make our onward journey to either Puno or La Paz.
