COPACABANA & SOUTHERN SUN ISLAND

Add to my wishlist See my wishlist

Day 01: La Paz / Copacabana / Sun Island / Copacabana / La Paz

We'll pick you up at your hostel or hotel in La Paz between 7:30am and 8:00am and set off by bus to the town of Copacabana. The 3½ hour trip will treat us to striking views of the Andean Cordillera Real, or Royal Range.
Upon our arrival to Copacabana around 12:00pm, we'll accommodate ourselves in the hotel and enjoy our lunch. At 1:30pm we'll board our shared boat and set off along the mirror-like waters of Lake Titicaca, not only huge in area but also the world's highest navigable lake. You'll have an hour and a half to enjoy the sights and diversity of Lake Titicaca before we arrive at Sun Island.
On the island we'll have a small 20 minute trek to the ruins of Pilcocaina Archeological Complex. At this mysterious site the Inca rendered cult to Inti, their highest deity, the Sun God. After touring Pilcocaina, we'll continue along the same path that the Incas themselves walked, descending along the stone Yumani Stairway to the Fountain of Youth.
At 4:30pm we'll embark upon our boat anew to return to Copacabana, where we'll arrive at 6:00pm to have our dinner and a free evening.

Day 02: Copacabana City Tour / La Paz

After breakfast we'll begin a two hour walking city tour of Copacabana. Our first stop will be the popular pilgrimage site of the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Candelaria.
Afterwards we'll ascend to the Calvary, where the Bolivian Yatiris performed different rituals in search of health, love, money, and protection for themselves and their families.
We'll stop for lunch at midday before catching the 1:30pm bus back to La Paz.
