About Isla del Sol
The island is known for its stunning landscapes, featuring terraced hillsides, ancient Incan ruins, and crystal-clear waters that reflect the snow-capped mountains surrounding the lake.
The island is divided into two main areas: the north, where the sun’s mythical birthplace is said to be, and the south, which has several archaeological sites, including the Pilkokaina ruins, an Inca palace. Visitors can explore narrow paths that wind through the island, offering panoramic views of the lake and the distant mountains. The island's culture remains deeply tied to its indigenous population, primarily the Aymara people, who live in small villages and maintain traditional practices.
Isla del Sol is accessible by boat from the town of Copacabana, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking to experience a mix of natural beauty and ancient history. It's an ideal place for trekking, cultural immersion, and relaxation by the serene waters of Lake Titicaca.
