Bolivia - Lake Titicaca (PDF Chapter)

This is the Lake Titicaca chapter from Lonely Planet’s Bolivia guidebook.

Everything – and everyone – that sits beside this impressive body of water, from the traditional Aymará villages to the glacier-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real, seems to fall into the back-ground in contrast with the shimmering opal jewel set into the spare altiplano earth.

• explore the Isla del Sol on foot, hiking from shore to hilltop for stunning vistas of distant mountains
• maps
• discover vestiges of the Inca culture in Copacabana, check out a baptism (or even a vehi-cle blessing!) at the cathedral and watch the sunset from the top of Cerro Calvario
• transport
• travel between Copacabana and Yampupata, taking a spin in a reed boat and eating fresh grilled trout on a (faux) floating island
• restaurants & accommodation

Coverage includes: Copacabana & Around, Yampupata, Isla del Sol, Isla de la Luna, Huatajata, Islas de Wiñaymarka, Isla Kalahuta, Isla Pariti, Isla Suriqui.
