We went on another nutty journey by bus from Puno in Peru to Copacobana just over the Bolivian border, skirting Lake Titicaca. At 4000m there is a chill in the wind tempered by the piping hot sun streaming through cloudlesss sky. Copa is a small tourist town with a street of tat and plenty of boat options for getting to Isla Del Sol; the Island of the Sun and the legendary Inca birthplace of creation - which I always thought was in Manchester. Hang on, someone is saying I have made that joke before. Well, there it is again in case you missed it.
The island has a lovely Inca trail walk through the middle of it with glorious 360 views of the lake and snow tipped mountains in the distance. Along the track there are various ruins, shrines and carvings. And, at the end, there was quality coffee in the village before the boat back. Copa had a lovely laid back traveller scene and was refeshing after the hustle of Peru.
Lake Titicaca is a beautiful sight
