Travelling to Lake Titicaca, Copacabana or La Paz? Don’t miss the magical island of Isla del Sol.
Isla del Sol is not just an ordinary island. It’s situated in Lake Titicaca, so on the way there and also from the island you can enjoy the view of snow-capped mountains, green hills and the blue vastness of Lake Titicaca. Furthermore, the island is home to cute llamas and other animals. You only have to enjoy this sacred atmosphere, get ready for high altitude and walk slowly.

CHECK OUT HOW WE SPENT OUR 1 DAY TRIP IN ISLA DEL SOL, BOLIVIA.
00:17 Our small boat left Copacabana harbour at 8:30 am, just next to the kiosk, where we bought our tickets the previous day. After a 1,5 hours boat ride, we arrived at its harbour at Temple of Sun, which is located on the southern part of the island.
02:34 From there, we started to walk north to visit a viewpoint called Cerro Queñuani. On our way, we also met horses, donkeys and could spot a few llamas in the distance. From the viewpoint of Cerro Queñuani, the panorama was fascinating to the peninsula of Copacabana, other islands and the deep blue lake. A stone mausoleum was also located on the top and cute llamas were eating grass next to the path. A baby llama was very interested in us, it even came close to us.
03:58 Before having lunch, we climbed another hill called Palla Kasha. The slope looked steep, though hiking for us took around 30 minutes. The panorama from the viewpoint totally compensated us for the suffering at high altitude. Cerro Palla Kasha is the highest point in the southern part, so from there you can even have a view to the northern part of the island and the village of Yumani.
05:45 After the hike, we deserved lunch with a view! So we headed back to the village to find a perfect lunch spot. On the western road of the hill, there are many restaurants with a panorama to the lake. Our chosen restaurant was Restaurant Pachamama with its fantastic terrace and colourful flowers. The must-try dish is the local trout in Isla del Sol and around Lake Titicaca.
06:44 After the tasty trout and sunbathing, it was time to go to the harbour, which took 25 minutes to the port of Yumani through curvy streets and stairs of the village. The last part was the Inca Steps, more than 200 steps leading to the lakeside.
07:11 The boat departed at 3 am with us sitting on the upper deck again.
