Copacabana and Lake Titicaca - Bolivia

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world at 3800m above sea level and forms part of the border between Bolivia and Peru. From Copacabana a town on the Bolivian shore you can catch a boat out to the Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun), a very varse but beautiful island which is believed to be the birth place of the Incas. You can stay overnight on the island or do a day trip and hike the length as what we did. The boat too and from the island is bloody slow and painful.

We stayed at a beautiful hotel that sits just above Copacabana called Hotel La Cúpula for $20 a night!
