Lake Titicaca, Bolivia holidays & guided tours to Sun Island, La Paz, Peru & Chile will take you across this famous expanse of water which is shared with Peru. At 3,600 m above sea level, is the highest commercially navigable lake in the world, and one of the most enjoyable ways to cross from Bolivia into Peru or vice versa. The peace and tranquillity you experience as you cross this vast lake is enhanced by its spectacular mountainous backdrop and icy blue waters. The lake abounds with over 530 aquatic species, many of which are endangered, and is dotted with islands that are all worth visiting for their own individual attractions.
Access to the islands is from Copacabana on the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. In this small, picturesque town you can see the white Moorish style cathedral, with its characteristic blue tile decorations. Nearby you can visit Horca del Inka (‘Incan Gallows’), a 14th century astronomical observatory built by the pre-Inca Chiripa people. The rock doorways were precisely arranged to allow the sun’s rays to pass through on the June winter solstice, and they were used to observe the heavens and for important community events. The walk up is something of a scramble, but the evocative atmosphere is well worth the effort on Lake Titicaca Bolivia holidays & guided tours to Sun Island, La Paz, Peru & Chile.
Sun Island (Isla del Sol) is the largest island in the lake. It is harsh and rocky and beautifully unspoilt, with stunning agricultural terracing. There are no motor vehicles or paved roads on this island, which is crammed with nearly 200 pre-Inca ruins - including the Sacred Rock, which the Inca believed was the birthplace of their Sun God.
