THE ISLAND OF THE SUN

Information

The island of the Sun is definitely the main tourist attraction of the area and can be reached by boat in about two hours from Copacabana. The legend tells, that the founders of the inkan culture, Manko Kapac and Mama Ochleo flew over the lake and when they saw the island of the Sun, they decided to settle there. You will find two sets of ruins on the island dating back from those days, but the main attractions are surely the superb landscapes with there variety off bays and peninsulas placed into the deep blue waters of the lake.
