Amazing Place! You can reach it through Copacabana city. Buy a boat ticket and go to explore this unique place!
Amazing place. The sunset is astonished, but be careful the hotels dont always have warm showers (they will tell you they have but not always) It is a perfect place to camp 2 or three days.
Isla del Sol is a small, but beautifull Island. I have only spend the afternoon there and walked around in the south area, so keep this in mind. The south part offers some small ruines to check out, and it is a easy area to hike. From the higher part you get an amazing view on lake Titicaca. The boat ride to and from the island is also very nice and gives good opportunities for taking pictures.
You can see beautiful star at the night. Hostel is not expensive
As usual you have to pay for everything here. The place is not that special. Granted the view is amazing.
I fell in love with this place! It's so beautiful and calm. No street noise, just perfect sunrises and sunsets.
