Full day tour from La Paz to Lake Titicaca & Isla del Sol. Boat trip, Inca ruins, Fountain of Youth, lunch included. Private guide. Book now.
At 3,812 meters above sea level, Lake Titicaca is the world’s highest navigable lake. Its waters are an impossible blue — intense, clear, and cold — surrounded by snow-capped Andean peaks and communities that have lived by its shores for thousands of years. Isla del Sol, the largest island in the lake, is where Inca mythology places the birth of the sun god Inti and the origin of the entire Inca civilization. The island has no cars, no paved roads, and a way of life largely unchanged for centuries. This full-day tour from La Paz takes you to both in a single long, extraordinary day.
