Our last stop in Peru was Puno, a cold village without any charm but in a privileged place, the Titicaca lake. We only spent there one day before crossing the border with Bolivia. We left this country full of contrasts thinking we had loved every place, even though we were quite tired of paying triple or more only because we were foreigners (it ...

I stayed one night in Copacabana after I got back from Isla del Sol. It is a kinda touristy town on the shores of lake titicaca.

Stayed here for 2 nights and did a tour of Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun). The Lake is pretty impressive in itself and the island was cool. We´re getting into Inca territory now so everything we do is based around Inca ruins etc. The town itself was pretty sparce and didn´t even have a cash point, hence our need to leave after 2 nights. It wa...

Yes, the OTHER, slightly less famous (OK I hadn´t heard of it) Copacabana. Almost as touristy as the one in Brazil though, but much sunnier for us (if you´ve seen Rio photos!) This small town is right on the border with Peru - Lake Titicaca basically forms the border here - and the main reason people go there is to go to Isla del Sol, birthplace...

Rob and I headed out for a day on the Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun), where Incan legend dictates that the Sun was born here. The Moon was born on the smaller and neighbouring Isla de la Luna, which we did not have time to visit. We were lazy, having just recovered from our various mysterious Bolivian illnesses, so we did not do the 4hour trek...

We arrived at the opportune time at Copacabana (not the famous Brazilian beach with Lola the showgirl that Barry Manilow sings about, but it's poorer Bolivian namesake cousin!), as it is the first weekend of May - time for the Fiesta de la Cruz (Festival of the Cross), marked by dancing in the streets. These parades seem to go on indefinitely, a...

Isla del Sol and Lake Titicaca Everyone crosses into Peru via Lake Titicaca. Like true lemmings we followed the crowd. Having proved how tough we are by taking the bus both ways from Rurrenabaque, we arrived in La Paz a 6am, and got the first bus we could to Copacabana on the shores of Lake Titicaca. The trip is pretty, and covers a good portio...

God, Bolivia. You are really in the thick of it here. Absolutley no english spoken except for some hostels so we really had to work at the old phrase book here....that was until we met this Irish couple who were doing more or less the same spots as we were and Mairead could speak spanish. God it is some difference i tell you being here with some...

Right i was on my way out of Peru and handy it was only a 3 hourish bus ride to the Bolivian border and hassel free exit and entry into Bolivia. It was 10km then down the road to sunny Copacabana. The clocks change by an hour going forward here too which is a head wrecker. Did a really cool walk in the town up a hill for some crackin views over ...

Another day, another Copacabana. This one is on the shores of Lake Titicaca (the highest navigable body of water in the world), about 6Km from the Peruvian border, and it`s all rather lovely. I came here a few days ago, took up residence in the Hotel Rosario Del Lago, then moved on to Isla Del Sol (Island of the Sun) for a couple of days. Now I`...
