    La Paz/Lake Titcaca

    April 20, 2023 in Bolivia ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    We had breakfast in the hotel in La Paz before boarding a bus en route to our overnight home stay on Lake Titicaca.
    We made a small stop for a quick break before getting to a wharf where we got a short 15min ferry across to save a 4 hour drive around - our bus was on a separate ferry next to us!
    We then had lunch of soup and trout (caught fresh from the lake) before boarding a 1.5hr ferry to the location of our homestay on the Isle of Sol (Sun).
    Along the way we learnt some fun facts about Lake Titicaca:
    -it is 285m deep at the deepest point
    -it is over 8500km2 in area
    -it is the largest lake in the world with international borders (Peru and Bolivia - Peru have 60% of the lake).
    We jumped off the ferry and then went for a hike across the island to our homestay location and had some amazing viewpoints (over 4000m) along the way.
    We did a quick checkin at the homestay before going back up to one of the viewpoints to watch the sunset - absolutely beautiful! :)
    We then had a lovely home cooked dinner and played cards with some of the group before calling it an early night.
