It seems the blogs are coming very fast aren´t they?
Well, we have a bit of time ahead of ourselves. Don´t complain!
After a safe landing in La Paz airport, we get a taxi to tke us to the bus terminal.Our destination: Copacabana by the Sacred Lake Titicaca. Our last place in Bolivia before we hit the road to Peru. Copacabana is the departure point to Isla del Sol or "Isla Titi KalKa" (Titi=Puma, Kalka=Rock). Sun Island. According to Inca mythology, it is here where the sun god called "Inti" has sent to earth two of his sons. Later they went on to Cuzco and formed the capital Machu Picchu.
Along our walk on the island which lasted 3 hours, we went through "La Piedra Sagrada", the Sacred Stone or Stone of Sacrifices as it was here where Inca ceremonies were sacrifices of young virgins and lamas o fertilze the Mother Earth or "Pachamama" as it is called here.
The whole island has a mystical feel to it and very spiritual. we felt at peace here. Really nice feeling.
I am not going to bore you much more. Just enjoy the photos!
Our next destination is Puno, still on the
Isla del Sol
at a distanceLake Titicaca, but this time it´s on the Peruvian side.
See you on the other side!
