Lake Titticaca

Travelling only 3 hours from La Paz we reached Lake Titticaca which we would travel around into Peru. We stayed in Copacabana (not quite as nice as Rio`s) and took a boat to the Isla Del Sol (island of the sun) for a walk around the island, a visit to some inca ruins and to eat Trout which the lake is full of. The other island that we decided was worth a visit was on Peru´s side of the lake just off Puno. The islands are known as the Floating Islands as they literally are being man made from straw and cubes of dirt tied together. Luckily the tour was only short as the novelty did wear off quite soon.
