During our jeep tour we met Matthew and Martina, a really nice british-swiss couple who had the same plans as us so we decided to travel together through Bolivia and Peru. This hopefully also makes us less prone to getting robbed. We had heard many stories of people getting robbed in La Paz and Cuzco so we tried to do everything we could to avoid that. From Uyuni we took train to Oruro and from there a bus to La Paz. We stayed there just one night before taking a bus to Copacabana.
Copacabana is a small town by the lake Titicaca close to the border of Bolivia and Peru. The hotel we stayed at was at a magnificent location overlooking the town and the lake and they also had nice hammocks which were perfect for taking it easy. The place was owned by a german guy and thus everything was very well organized, nice change after a while.
One day we walked up to the hill right next to the town. A good view point over the town and the lake. The next day we took a boat to Isla del Sol, an island with old Inca heritage.
We walked through the island from north to south visiting several old ruins on the way. It was a beautiful day on a beautiful island.
