TOUR TO COPACABANA & SUN ISLAND FULLDAY
Visit one of the most sacred sites of the Inca Empire, the island from whose water the great civilization believed its founder to have risen. This is the Isla del Sol, Island of the Sun, the most important deity in Inca times. Visit the Temple of Pilkokaina, see where the Inca Steps of Yumani descend to the sacred waters of the area, and let yourself be blown away by the natural wonder of world's highest navigable lake, cold and clear Lake Titicaca, birthplace of numerous powerful kingdoms.
Itinerary
You will be picked up at your hotel in Puno at 7:30am and we will set off for the Copacabana Sanctuary, where we will arrive before midday.*
We'll enjoy a delicious lunch in Copacabana before embarking on a motorboat with the guide. It will take about an hour and half to reach the Isla del Sol. Once we arrive at this sacred site we will explore the island, paying special attention to key sites such as the Inca Steps of Yumani, which descend to a sacred spring, rechristianed the Fountain of Youth by the Conquistadores, and the Temple of Pilkokaina.
Afterwards we will return to Copacabana to visit Copacabana Sanctuary. We'll board our transport back to the city of La Paz at 6:30pm.
