OVERVIEWOVERVIEW

Take this 2 day tour and explore the beauties the Lake Titicaca has to offer on the Bolivian side. Copacabana is a picturesque small town on the shores of Lake Titicaca (Lago Titicaca). At an altitude of around 3800 meters the lake is said to be the highest navigable lake in the world and is a popular tourist destination. A boat journey away from the town of Copacabana will bring you to Isla del Sol (sun island) which according to Inca legend is the birthplace of the sun and also the birthplace of the first Incas. Steeped in history this Copacabana and Sun island tour is like taking a trip back in time and a great way to spend a relaxing few days. You can watch a video showing some scenes from Isla del Sol and Copacabana HERE.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please read through these common questions & answers - if you cant find what you want to know send us your questions using the Ask a Question button

Do you offer a Sun Island tour starting from Puno?
Our Copacabana 2-day and 1-day tours both start from La Paz, but they can also start from Copacabana. So if you are in Puno and want to take our 2-day tour then you will need to arrange your own transport from Puno to Copacabana and then start the tour from there. You will need to arrive before midday in order to be able to participate in a tour the same day.
Alternatively, you can have a look at the Puno to Copacabana to La Paz Bolivia Hop bus pass that also includes a 4 hour round trip to the Sun Island. This might be the best option for you if you are then moving onto La Paz.
