BIRTHPLACE OF THE SUN
The Tiwanaku and Inca believed the sun and their civilization were born from this re-
markable body of water, and it remains a great spot to explore pre-Columbian history.
ISLAND TRAVERSE
In a day or two you can hike from tip to tail of the mystic- al Isla del Sol. On the way
you'll encounter numerous ruins dating from before the Spanish conquest. There are also
intact indigenous villages, plenty of fun, family-run restaurants and a chilled-out vibe
that's a traveler's dream.
WATER AND ICE
There are no bad views over Lake Titicaca. Cros- sing between islands, you'll be en-
tranced by mirrored reflections of the nearby Cordillera Real, while the sunsets and sun-
rises will burn their imprint into your soul.
