Lake Titicaca & Isla del Sol



We arrived at the pretty town of Copacabana which sits of the edge of lake Titicaca (Bolivian side) & spent a few days just chilling out. From here we took a boat across Lake Titicaca to the Isla del Sol (Sun Island - at such high altitude it's very easy to burn, yes we found out the hard way!). Lots of ruins and a sacrificial table!



It's hard to believe it's a lake, it's so big (3200 square miles to be a geek about it).



We spent the night on the island which was interesting & somewhat basic, especially as we went to the north away from all the tourists, we became the main attraction for the local children (although have noticed it's much easier to practice bad Spanish when chatting to the kids)!
