Took a boat from Copacabana to the Isla del Sol. Pretty place. When you first arrive you have to hike up the Inca stairs which was brutal with an 80 lbs pack. Took like 45 minutes. We stayed at a hostel on the crest of the island and did a full day hike around the northern part the next day. We visited the Inca Labyrinth and the Sacrificial Alter. The island has beautiful hiking. The next day we went around the southern tip and visited some more ruins. Life on the Island is pretty traditional and there are lots of animals. Kids have been trained to charge for their photos which I can understand but they think that this applies to random livestock as well. Got into a couple of arguments with 5 year olds. When we were done on the island we took the boat back to Copacabana.
