In-Depth Information
Launches embark from Copacabana beach around 8:30am and 1:30pm daily. Depend-
ing on the season and the company, they may drop you off at a choice of the island's north
or south (check with the agency). Return trips leave Yampupata at 10:30am and 4pm
(B$20 one-way), and Cha'llapampa at 1pm (B$20).
Most full-day trips go directly north to Cha'llapampa (two to 2½ hours). Boats anchor
for 1½ hours only - you'll have just enough time to hike up to the Chincana ruins, and re-
turn again to catch the boat at 1pm to the Escalera del Inca and Pilko Kaina in the island's
south. Here, you'll spend around two hours before departing for Copa.
Half-day trips generally go to the south of Isla del Sol only.
Those who wish to hike the length of the island can get off at Cha'llapampa in the
morning and walk south to the Escalera del Inca (Yumani) for the return boat in the after-
noon.
Alternatively, you can opt to stay overnight or longer on the island (highly recommen-
ded), then buy a one-way ticket to Copacabana with any of the boat companies. See
