Copacabana and Isla Del Sol (The Bolivian Side)




We heard from other travellers that Isla del Sol was the best thing to see on Lago Titicaca so we arrived to Copacabana with high expectations after a couple of great days on the Peruvian side. We dropped our bags in a nice hostal (Emperador) and ran to the port to organise a half day trip.

In hindsight a half day was definately not enough, we only got to see a small part of the island and our guide didnt bring us to the promised ruins of the Temple of the Sun. So all in all it was our most disapointing tour of the holiday and wed always recommend the Peruvian side ahead of the Bolivian. We left at 4 but the lake was too rough to land at the jetty to get to the ruins, not Ronans favourite boat journey!!

That said the town of Copacabana itself was quiet nice and we met some sound paddys and went for dinner and a few drinks, but as we are running short of time we would happily have given it a miss.
