A day trip to Isla del Sol, Bolivia | Aliz’s Wonderland
Travelling to Lake Titicaca, Copacabana or La Paz? Don’t miss the magical island of Isla del Sol.
Isla del Sol is not just an ordinary island. It’s situated in Lake Titicaca, so on the way there and also from the island you can enjoy the view of snow-capped mountains, green hills and the blue vastness of Lake Titicaca. Furthermore, the island is home to cute llamas and other animals. You only have to enjoy this sacred atmosphere, get ready for high altitude and walk slowly.

CHECK OUT HOW WE SPENT OUR 1 DAY TRIP IN ISLA DEL SOL, BOLIVIA.
00:17 Our small boat left Copacabana harbour at 8:30 am, just next to the kiosk, where we bought our tickets the previous day. After a 1,5 hours boat ride, we arrived at its harbour at Temple of Sun, which is located on the southern part of the island.
02:34 From there, we started to walk north to visit a viewpoint called Cerro Queñuani. On our way, we also met horses, donkeys and could spot a few llamas in the distance. From the viewpoint of Cerro Queñuani, the panorama was fascinating to the peninsula of Copacabana, other islands and the deep blue lake. A stone mausoleum was also located on the top and cute llamas were eating grass next to the path. A baby llama was very interested in us, it even came close to us.
03:58 Before having lunch, we climbed another hill called Palla Kasha. The slope looked steep, though hiking for us took around 30 minutes. The panorama from the viewpoint totally compensated us for the suffering at high altitude. Cerro Palla Kasha is the highest point in the southern part, so from there you can even have a view to the northern part of the island and the village of Yumani.
05:45 After the hike, we deserved lunch with a view! So we headed back to the village to find a perfect lunch spot. On the western road of the hill, there are many restaurants with a panorama to the lake. Our chosen restaurant was Restaurant Pachamama with its fantastic terrace and colourful flowers. The must-try dish is the local trout in Isla del Sol and around Lake Titicaca.
06:44 After the tasty trout and sunbathing, it was time to go to the harbour, which took 25 minutes to the port of Yumani through curvy streets and stairs of the village. The last part was the Inca Steps, more than 200 steps leading to the lakeside.
07:11 The boat departed at 3 am with us sitting on the upper deck again.

Copacabana & Isla Del Sol ???????? Backpacking Bolivia Travel Vlog
My final stop in Bolivia is Copacabana! Situated still at a very high altitude (????lol) on Lake Titicaca. I stayed at Hostal Florencia and met Harry and Tori and together we took a boat to Isla Del Sol and hiked over 10km across the island, visiting the ruins along the way. It was a fantastic day out but challenging with the altitude!

A complete guide to Copacabana and Lake Titicaca - Bolivia travel vlog | Aliz’s Wonderland
Copacabana is situated at Lake Titicaca, which is the world's largest navigable high-altitude lake with its 8372 km2, sitting at an altitude of 3812 m. The lake is situated between the mountains of Peru and Bolivia.
We travelled to Copacabana after 1,5-week travelling in Chile and Bolivia, so our 5 days there were very relaxed. Don’t worry, staying 3-4 days would be also enough to see the most significant spots around Copacabana.
Let’s see how we spent 5 days in Copacabana:
0:22 DAY 1 - TRAVELLING TO COPACABANA
Copacabana is approachable by taxi, rented car or as part of a tour. We chose the EASIEST AND CHEAPEST WAY and travelled there by bus from the Central Bus station in La Paz, which took 4 hours for us. We bought a bus ticket online on Tickets Bolivia, which offers transportation by multiple companies. Direct buses depart from La Paz at 7:30 am, 8 am and 1:30 pm.
After a 2-3 hours scenic drive we arrived at the boat station of Tiquina, where all passengers had to take off the bus, buy a boat ticket and cross the strait by a small boat. On the other side, we waited for our bus, which was transported by a little ferry.
Tickets Bolivia -
For more information about how to get there, prices and Copacabana read my blog post:
1:54 DAY 2 - A TRIP TO ISLAS FLOTANTES (FLOATING ISLANDS)
Islas Flotantes (Floating Islands) are located in Lake Titicaca and are accessible by boat from Copacabana. Tickets can be purchased at many places in Copacabana, though at tourist agencies it might be more expensive. We bought our return tickets in a kiosk at the lakeshore (at the end of Av 6 de Agosto).
During the 20 minutes ride, you can adore the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real, green hills and blue vastness of the lake.
4:39 DAY 3 - DISCOVERING THE LAKESHORE
Copacabana sits between two hills, Cerro Calvário and Horca del Inca. The bay is home to many boats, so this part of the lake isn't recommended for swimming.
Trying out local dishes is part of travelling and discovering new cultures. THE MUST-TRY FOOD IN COPACABANA IS TROUT (trucha) and the perfect place to try it out is the lakeshore. Next to the harbour, you’ll find many kiosks serving trout. The menu and the prices are almost the same at every food stall.
5:12 DAY 4 - ISLA DEL SOL DAY TRIP
Isla del Sol is not just an ordinary island. It’s situated in Lake Titicaca and home to Inca ruins, scenic paths, cute llamas and other animals. You only have to enjoy this sacred atmosphere, get ready for high altitude and walk slowly.
During our Bolivian trip (March of 2020), ONLY THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE ISLAND WAS OPEN FOR VISITORS. Unfortunately, the northern and southern part had some differences again.
Read the blog post about our 1 day trip in Isla del Sol, Bolivia:
And watch the Isla del Sol travel video:
6:05 DAY 5 - RELAXING AND CLIMBING CERRO CALVARIO
The peak of Cerro Calvario dominates the lakeshore of Lake Titicaca at Copacabana. As I mentioned before, Copacabana lies at a high altitude, so WALKING AND CLIMBING CAN BE CHALLENGING.
The breathtaking panorama of the lake and the harbour will compensate for the exhausting hike. From the peak, you can also watch the sunset and its reflection on the surface of Lake Titicaca.
7:55 DAY 6 - TRAVELLING TO LA PAZ, EL ALTO AIRPORT
Buses depart from Plaza Sucre, the main square of Copacabana. For returning to La Paz, we chose a local bus, which wasn’t that comfortable but it stopped at El Alto, so we could reach the airport easier.

48 hours in LAKE TITICACA: From Copacabana to Isla Del Sol's breathtaking beauty!
In this video we head out to tour the town of Copacabana and Lake Titicaca. We decided to do a two day tour from La Paz which was great because it took the planning aspect away from us for once but it did mean that things were a bit rushed.
We didn’t get a lot of say over timings so had to be pretty flexible with what we got to see and it involved a lot of climbing with heavy backpacks. It was an adventure and we did make it out onto the lake a few times and even chased the sunset and sunrise on Isla Del Sol. We would recommend doing this type of tour if you’re short on time like we were but it would be nice to go back one day and just explore the area at a slower pace.

A Day On Isla Del Sol - Copacabana Bolivia
Isla Del Sol is an Island on the huge Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca is South Americas largest lake situated at 3800m above seas level and is shared between Bolivia and Peru.
Bolivia is, for the most part, a mountain nation. After spending a few weeks exploring throughout the nation we made our way to Copacabana. Copacabana is a small beautiful town on the shores of Lake Titicaca where you can access Isla Del Sol.
Taking an hour and a half to get to the Island you can choose to do a day trip or spend a night or two, which can be expensive. We choose to do a day trip, and to be honest that is all you need.
This is what it looked like.

La isla del Sol o isla Titicaca es una isla boliviana situada en el lago Titicaca, dentro del municipio de Copacabana en la provincia de Manco Kapac del departamento de La Paz. Tiene una longitud de 9,6 km por 4,6 km de ancho y una superficie de 14,3 km², lo que la convierte en la isla más grande del lago. Su nombre original es isla Titikaka y por ello el lago donde se encuentra lleva su nombre, que significa puma de piedra.
Presenta un relieve accidentado con varias alturas, las caras laterales de los cerros presentan terrazas escalonadas debido al cultivo de antiguos pobladores incas.
La isla en la época inca era un santuario con un templo con sacerdotes dedicados al dios Sol o Inti y de ahí su nombre.
La mayor parte de la isla está poblada por indígenas de origen aymara, dedicados a la agricultura, el turismo, artesanía y el pastoreo. El idioma que hablan es la lengua ancestral,aymara, como también el español.
A lo largo de toda la isla se aprecian varios sitios arqueológicos, donde sobresale la Roca Sagrada o Roca de los orígenes, que según las crónicas fue lugar del nacimiento del Imperio Inca y acá sería donde nacería Viracocha, el propio Dios Sol, el cual sería el encargado de enviar a Manco Cápac y Mama Ocllo a fundar la ciudad del Cuzco. También existe la creencia que la Roca Sagrada es el centro mundial para la creación de nuevas especies y significativos avances evolutivos dentro de las especies ya existentes, ya que es considerado como el segundo chakra de la Tierra.
También se aprecia la Chinkana o laberinto, además del Palacio de Pilkokaina de la época incaica, único por sus características constructivas. Otro sitios son las escalinatas de Yumani, que conducen hacia la parte alta de la isla, donde existe una fuente de agua de la época precolombina. Además, en la cumbre del cerro más alto del lado norte de la isla, se puede apreciar un mirador monolítico que apunta a las islas visibles desde la cumbre. El mirador fue construido por Ito Bastías y Josué Garay, y está hecho solo con rocas encontradas en la cumbre, sin utilizar algún aglomerante.
La Isla de la Luna, también llamada Isla Koati, es una isla de Bolivia que se encuentra en el lago Titicaca, junto a la isla del Sol en el departamento de La Paz. Es una isla pequeña y cuenta con una superficie de 105 hectáreas. Presenta una orografía escarpada por los vientos y además por ser una isla altiplánica.
En la época del Imperio inca contaba con un templo denominado Iñakuyu o Palacio de las Vírgenes de Sol, donde habitaban las denominadas Vírgenes del Sol. El sitio era un acllahuasi o casa de las escogidas, en el que las mujeres aprendían variados oficios, sobre todo el tejido. Estas podían llegar a ser las esposas secundarias del Inca; se dice también que podían ser empleadas para el sacrificio.
En la isla solo podía entrar el emperador Inca, máxima autoridad del imperio. Actualmente está poblada por pocas familias de indígenas de origen quechua y aimara dedicadas a la agricultura, el pastoreo y la venta de artesanías a los visitantes. Los idiomas que se hablan son el quechua, el aimara y también el español.

L'isla del Sol, dove nacquero gli Inca (e il sole stesso)
Se sei alla ricerca di un posto speciale sul lago Titicaca, in Bolivia, non devi perdere l’isla del Sol. Non solo perché. Secondo gli Inca, qui nacque il sole e la dinastia che dominò il Sud America per quasi un secolo. E’ un posto molto spirituale, libero dalle auto (si può solo camminare o spostarsi con la barca, come avviene, peraltro, a Taquile e Amantani), e ancora legato agli stili di vita di un tempo. Molte persone la visitano in giornata ma, per assaporarla in pieno, ti consiglio di passare almeno una notte.

Hiking the Length of Isla Del Sol | Lake Titicaca & Copacabana | Bolivia's Birthplace of the Sun.
From La Paz, it is a three and half hour - including the ferry crossing at Tiquina - journey to (the original) Copacabana, the beachside resort on the shore of Bolivian Lake Titicaca. It was Easter Sunday, so things were as busy as it gets.
Ascended Calvario and La Inca del Horca on either side of town for panoramic views of the town and lake.
Then a ferry ride to Isla del Sol, stopping at Challapampa, where I overnighted after viewing sunset at Chincana ruins. Next day, trekked the Camino south to Yumani, the main town on Isla del Sol. Visited Palla Khasa high up, and Templo del Sol lower down.
Note: My video camera was stolen in La Paz the day before so I could only make this video our of still images.
