Tours to Isla Del Sol

Boats frequently set sail to Isla Del Sol, a serene island where you can fully immerse yourself in its peaceful atmosphere and witness the sunrise from the very place where, as local legend has it, the sun first emerged thousands of years ago. The island's well-marked trails make it easy to explore, guiding you to ancient, sacred ruins hidden in its more secluded areas. As you wander, be sure to savor the taste of smoked trout, a local delicacy uniquely prepared with the rich flavors of ripe papaya juice.

Activities in Copacabana & Lake Titicaca

The name "Copacabana" is commonly believed to come from the Aymara phrase kota kahuana, which means "view of the lake." However, social scientist Mario Montaño Aragón uncovered an intriguing alternative in the "Archives of Indias" in Seville, Spain. He discovered that "Kotakawana" refers to an ancient Andean fertility deity, akin to the Greek goddess Aphrodite or the Roman Venus. This androgynous god is said to reside in Lake Titicaca, accompanied by mythical beings known as "Umantuus," akin to mermaids in Western lore, depicted in colonial sculptures.

Remarkably, the current Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana stands on the site of the ancient Temple of Kotakawana, a sacred place long before the Spanish arrival. Today, small fertility temples dedicated to Kotakawana can still be found along the shores of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and Peru, underscoring the area’s profound spiritual significance that predates colonial history.
