The journey begins arriving at Copacabana. From here we take a boat to the Sun Island, which legend has it that the Incan empire was born at, a millenary culture that still leaves traces of their traditions, for example, the apthapi, one of their customs that you’ll be able to take part of as you have lunch in a community focused experience. Hike the ancient steps to find “La Fuente de la Juventud” or the Spring of youth, enjoy a wonderful scenery and arrive at a balcony that lets you take a moment to realize the magnitude of this lake as seen from above. One more stop is the reminder of the Pilkokaina Palace, ancient ruins that will sure surprise you. And as the day comes to an end, return by boat to Copacabana, the dusk presents an opportunity to witness a beautiful sunset over the lake while enjoy a delicious dinner.
