The one in Bolivia - not Brazil.
Second country, first land border crossing of my trip.
It was a quick 3 hour bus ride to the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca. Copacabana has a relaxed, rasta feel to it.
It's touristy, with lots of empty restaurants.
I love how many buildings and hostals have courtyards here.
I took a tour to Island Del Sol, the place where the Incans believed the sun was born.
The boat was slow and the ride was choppy and space was limited. Not the most fun 2 hours.
More high altitude walking
Roca sagrada, which has the face of a puma.
Our guide took water from a well within a ruin on the island and told us to wash our face with it, then he poured some on the back of our necks before finally recommending we drink some of it.
After the tour, we had the option of returning on the same path back to the boats or walking the length of the island from north to south. I chose the latter & ended up questioning why I chose more high altitude walking under the hot sun. It seemed never ending since the scenery didn't change much and the trail was uninteresting. I also had to stop numerous times on the trail to pay fees for using it. It definitely felt like a cash grab.
There's always a black sheep.
