Lago Titicaca
Lake Titicaca, South America’s biggest lake and the world’s highest. We decided the best way to see the lake was to stay on one of its islands with a local family. Im not sure where else in the world you can get a double room for £2/night. Mind you, you don’t get running water or heating and you have to bring your own loo roll. We took a boat from Copacabana to the ‘Isla Del Sol’, which takes nearly 1hr 30 by a painfully slow boat. When you arrive and climb the steep hike up the ancient Incan stairway, you are rewarded with some of the most spectacular views of the lake. Although there is very little to do on the island, the views make it well worth the visit, as well as several inca ruins and long island walks, which, at 3800m were no walk in the park. Lake Titicaca sits on the border between Bolivia and Peru, so it was our last destination in Bolivia as we moved in to Peru…
