Isla Del Sol & Copacabana: The Best Itinerary from La Paz, Copacabana, Bolivia

Bolivia’s Isla Del Sol is a bucolic, pastoral haven with pigs on the beach, donkeys on the stepped terraces and a slow, relaxed pace of life for the residents. You can expect beautiful, secluded beaches and impressive views of Lake Titicaca. Isla Del Sol is said to be the birthplace of the Incan Sun god, Inti, meaning that the island is dotted with the archaeological remains of temples, stepped terraces and relics from the Incan era.

To visit Isla Del Sol, you must get a boat from the small town of Copacabana. On the shores of Titicaca, Copacabana is a pleasant place with several sites that are worth checking out in their own right. With easy transport links from La Paz or the Peruvian city of Puno, Copacabana is an essential stop on any Bolivia itinerary. We chose to take a trip from La Paz – below is an ideal itinerary based on our own experiences!

From La Paz, you can catch the early morning bus to Copacabana. This bus journey involves a short ferry crossing of Lake Titicaca at San Pablo De Tiquina – you will need to disembark the bus and buy a ticket for the passenger ferry at San Pablo de Tiquina, and then reboard the bus at the other side of the crossing. Don’t worry, the ferry ticket is very cheap and the bus ticket to Copacabana is valid on both sides of the crossing. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
