It was a fantastic trip, much more time available in Copacabana and on Isla del Sol than with the typical one day trips from La Paz to Lake Titicaca. Well organized with pickup and returns directly from and to you accommodation in La Paz. It’s a little confusing as the Peru Hop/Bolivia Hop is the same company providing 1 day excursions as well. The only difference, you come with one bus and leave the other day with another bus rather than going forth and back with one bus same day. You even have the option to come from La Paz, stop over at Lake Titicaca and continue with bus to Peru (Puno or even Cusco) or vice versa. If you stay overnight at Copacabana or Isla del Sol, you can book accommodation yourself or getting help from the trip organizer. I stayed at the hostel Inka Pacha in Yumani on the island, very nice hosts! Be aware the accommodation options are very basic, but lovely. Go for your own hikes on the island, that supplements the guided tour by Peru/Bolivia Hop.

Special mention for the guides, Abner and Andres, they've been super helpful and competent with perfect explanation both in English and Spanish. The tour is very well organised. I suggest to take part to the 2days experience. Doing it in one day you have no chance to live property la Isla del Sol, because you'll stay there only 1h, with no possibility to get around. To improve: on the trip back was raining inside the bus... maybe this can be fixed

Full description

Depart from La Paz on a guided two-day trip that includes a boat journey on Lake Titicaca and visits to Copacabana, Yumani and Isla del Sol, where you will be spending the night. Enjoy the magnificent scenery of the cobalt blue lake and snow-sprinkled mountains as you explore the land of the Inca.


The tour will depart La Paz early in the morning for Lake Titicaca. Your first stop will be at the Tiquina viewpoint, where you will get some stunning panoramic views of Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world at an elevation of 3,812 meters.


Next, take a ferry across to Copacabana, the main Bolivian town on the shore of the lake that sits right beside the border with Peru. From here you’ll travel by speedboat to the Isla del Sol, considered by the Incas as the birthplace of their Sun God.


In the afternoon, you’ll have time to explore Yumani, on the south coast of the island, and marvel at the Sol Pilko Kaina temple and the details of Inca architecture. 


After spending the night on the island, you’ll have the next day free until 15.30, giving you plenty of time to visit the northern side of the island, home to the Golden Museum and the Inca Fountain of Youth.


In the afternoon, you’ll take the boat back to Copacabana, where you’ll have time for dinner before catching the bus back to La Paz where you will arrive around 23.00.
