"COPACABANA" TOUR

"Copacabana" Tour

Copacabana, is one of the main riverside towns of Lake Titicaca in the Department of La Paz in Bolivia. Located 155 km from the city, it is much more than a place to pass through. Surrounded by hills, volcanoes and the magnificence of the lake, it takes its name from the ancient deity of love and desire of the Aymaras, "Copakawana", and which after colonization became Copacabana. Currently they preserve archaeological remains and some indigenous families live in them and are one of the great attractions for visitors. In their market we can taste the typical dishes, or crafts and native products. Copacabana is much more, it is a meeting point between history, nature, culture and tradition. A place of enormous beauty, which preserves its traditions and the simplicity of its people, but open to thousands of travelers from all over the world who visit and enjoy it every year. A short boat trip from the lake town of Copacabana, the Island of the Sun is a beautiful place full of archaeological wonders. The town of Yumani, located on the south side, is the largest and most developed settlement, making it a popular stop for tourists.

Itinerary

• Pick up of the clients at their hotel and departure to Copacabana.
• Arrival and lunch.
• Departure to the southern area of the sacred Island of the Sun known as Yumani. Venerated as the most important site within Inca mythology, the Island of the Sun is worth a visit for anyone interested in spectacular scenery and spiritual surroundings. According to Inca tradition, the Sun Island is the birthplace of their revered Sun God and the first two Incas in the world.
• Visit the Pilkokaina Palace, a surprisingly well-preserved two-story temple that was built on the side of a cliff more than twenty meters above Lake Titicaca.
• Walk to the Steps of the Inca (or Pasos del Inca) and Fountain of Youth (or Fuente del Inca). Starting at the southern port of the Sun Island there is a steep staircase of over 200 steps that leads to the town of Yumani. Built by the Incas, the staircase also leads to a sacred fountain that is said to be a fountain of youth. A natural water fountain containing three separate spouts that the Incas referred to as "Ama sua, Ama Kella and Ama Llulla", translated into English would be "Don't be lazy, don't be a liar, don't be a thief". Commonly known as the "Fountain of Youth", it is believed that anyone who drinks from the fountain water will stay young forever.
• At the end, I return to Copacabana and leave for La Paz.
