The Sun Island - City Tour Copacabana
Among all these islands, the largest is the Island of the Sun, whose original name is Isla Titikaka, and for this reason the lake where it is located bears its name, which means “Rock of the Puma.” During the Inca period, it was a sanctuary with a temple of virgins dedicated to the service of the Sun God. It is credited as the birthplace of the most important entities of the Inca religion and as the legendary place of the creation of the Inca Empire. For this reason, a visit is a must.

La Paz / Copacabana / Sun Island

After lunch, around 1:30 p.m., we will board our shared boat to the southern part of the Island of the Sun (Isla del Sol), crossing the waters of the highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca, on a journey of about one and a half hours.
Once we arrive at Isla del Sol, we will take a short walk of about 20 minutes to the Pilcocaina Archaeological Center, the ruins of a mysterious sacred place dedicated to the worship of Inti, the Sun God and the most important Inca deity.
