Subject: Post: There is not much to do in Copacabana itself. Most people come here only to visit the nearby Isla del Sol, an island with a lot of Inca period and even older ruins. Incas believed that the sun god was born on the island.We spent the morning trying to shop some clothes in the local market and just walking around the small city, and in the afternoon took a boat to Isla del Sol. The island visit was quite brief, as the afternoon boats returned soon back to Copacabana. We just climbed to top of the island, visited one Inca ruin, temple of the sun and traveled back to Copacabana.The local food specialty is trucha, a creoli trout fished from lake Titicaca. That had naturally to be tried. I would vote it as one of the best fishes I have ever eaten, even a fish-hater like me was happy eating trucha for both lunch and dinner.Tomorrow we should again continue our journey, this time crossing the border to Peru. First a morning bus to Puno, visiting an Inca site nearby and then continuing with a night bus to Cusco. Still considering if we should visit the tourist-crowded Macchu Picchu or an another, even better Inca site which just has one problem.. There are no roads and it's two days of hiking to get there. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
