Isla del Sol

Isla del Sol is an island in Lake Titicaca. It is part of Bolivia. Geographically, the terrain is harsh; it is a rocky, hilly island. There are no motor vehicles or paved roads on the island. The Quechua name for the island is Titi'kaka, which means "Rock of the Puma," a reference to the island's shape. The main economic activity on the island is tourism; fishing and agriculture for subsistence are also widely practiced. Many hills on the island contain agricultural terraces, which adapt steep and rocky terrain to agriculture. Among the ruins on the island are a table possibly used for sacrifice, a labyrinth-like temple, and a man-made waterfall which the Spaniards mistook for the Fountain of Youth. In the religion of the Incas, it was believed that the sun god Manco Capac was born here. Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Isla Del Sol, Bolivia This Bolivia location article is a stub.

Unless you're spending the night on the island, your itinerary will be basically determined by the boat tour you arrived on. Frankly, the half-day tour is barely worthwhile as it consists only of a brief stop at the southern end and most of your time will be spent on the boat.

A full-day tour will take two hours to get from Copacabana to Cha'llapampa, two and a half hours to see the museum and make a round trip hike to the Rock of the Puma, three hours to take the boat to Isla de la Luna and back to the Inca Steps at the town of Yumani, and two hours for the ride back to Copacabana. You can also choose to hike from the Rock of the Puma back to Yumani (three hours) and catch the boat from there. (Decide on this when buying tickets, as the boat fare to Isla de la Luna adds just a bit to the cost.)

Cha'llapampa, the town on the northern end of the island, is where the boat lets you off. The Gold Museum displays Inca treasures which were discovered underwater off the island in the last decade. The Bs5 admission also lets you see the Rock of the Puma. Other than that, the town has a small beach and some dirt roads.
The sights on the northern tip are ancient Inca sacred sites. The Rock of the Puma, or , after which the lake is named, is a large formation that will probably look nothing like a puma until the guide points it out. Your reaction will likely either be "Ah, there it is!" or "That's it?!" A short distance from the rock is the Inca Table, a low platform fashioned of stone. You may just be imagining a red tint on it, but it was supposedly used for human sacrifices. The Footsteps of the Sun nearby are a set of natural (or supernatural?) impressions in rock.
Isla de la Luna ("Island of the Moon"), a short distance to the south, is uninhabited and contains the ruins of the Temple of the Virgins of a Sun, resembling an amphitheater. Admission is Bs5.
From Yumani on the southern part of the island, the Inca Steps descend down to the water. At the bottom is the Fountain of Youth. (Oh, those gullible conquistadors!) The channel of water flowing down the hill should convince you that drinking from it is much more likely to shorten your life than extend it.
The Temple of Pilcocaina is a little further south, and is an optional stop for the boat tour. Bs5 admission.
