2 days on Lake Titicaca: Copacabana, Isla del Sol overnight, Inca ruins & Fountain of Youth. From La Paz. Private guide. Book now.
One day on Lake Titicaca is beautiful. One night changes everything. By staying overnight on Isla del Sol, you experience the lake the way it actually lives — in the quiet of early morning before the day-trippers arrive, in the golden light of late afternoon over water that stretches to every horizon, under a sky at 3,812 meters where stars appear before darkness fully falls. Titicaca Revealed is the overnight version of the full-day tour: the same extraordinary island, with an extra evening and morning to make it yours.
Begin your journey with a 7:00 AM pickup from your hotel in La Paz. Travel through the dramatic Bolivian altiplano toward Copacabana, arriving around midday after approximately 3.5 hours.
Enjoy lunch at a traditional local restaurant before boarding a boat across Lake Titicaca to Isla del Sol.
Once on the island, walk along the historic Inca Stairway and visit the legendary Fountain of Eternal Youth, where local tradition says the water brings longevity.
As evening approaches, settle into a local hostel at one of the island’s highest points. Enjoy spectacular views across Lake Titicaca toward both the Bolivian and Peruvian shores.
Dinner and overnight on the island.
