La Paz/Lake Titcaca

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.Læs mere
