Lake Titicaca & Isla del Sol

Due to the strong winds this morning the harbor in Copacabana was shut down and no boats could go to Isla del Sol. Lucky for us, our amazing private guide had his buddy drive us out to a peninsula closer to the island where he had one of the local boatmen take us over. Turned out we were the only tourists to get to go to the island today. As a result, we had a very uncrowded experience exploring the Inca ruins and hiking the ancient trail from one end of the island to the other. While it was a bit windy, there was not a cloud in the sky and the views of Lake Titicaca and the Andes were incredible. The bonus ride out to the boat launch provided us additional amazing vistas and the opportunity to see numerous lakeside villages. An amazing day that only we were fortunate enough to experience.
