DESTINATION

LAKE TITICACA

Description: It is a beautiful place to enjoy a weekend with family and friends, there you can visit the Isla del Sol, navigate the lake and enjoy fresh trout among other food. Lake Titicaca is located between Bolivia and Peru and is the highest navigable lake in the world. Sacred for the Aymaras and the Incas, it still has an important value for both countries beyond tourism. 

How to get there: Take a minibus to Copacabana from the general cemetery, the road is safe and fully asphalted.
