OK, yes, the name is fun to say. Titicaca! It’s the largest high altitude lake in the
world with boats on it, and it serves as part of the border for Bolivia and
Peru. During our two-day break from work, we stayed in the lakeside village of
Copacabana. It has the same name as the
famous Rio de Janeiro beach, but the resemblance ends there. For an excursion, we traveled by boat to Isla
del Sol, an island in the lake where no vehicles are allowed, so all transport
is by foot, water or donkey. I knew that
we’d be walking and hiking there, but I didn’t know that it would be on ancient
Inca steps and trails, and that we’d see a temple and stone walls and terraces
similar to those at Machu Picchu. It was
a four-hour trip by bus and ferry to Copacabana, but it felt a world away from
the frenzied, teeming mass of humanity in La Paz.
