Copacabana & Isla del Sol day trip: Temple & Inca ruins14h–15hA private full-day tour from La Paz to Copacabana and Isla del Sol includes a bilingual guide, lunch, transport and entry fees. You visit the Temple of Copacabana, then take a 1½-hour boat ride to Isla del Sol to walk the Inca steps, drink from the Inca's Fountain, and hike to the Temple of the Sun ruins overlooking the lake. The return to La Paz arrives around 10 p.m. Minimum age is 18; the hike to Pilcocaina is moderately strenuous with steep terrain.Is it for me?The hike to Pilcocaina climbs steeply at altitude and takes sustained effort, so this tour suits travelers with moderate fitness who are ready for an active day rather than a relaxed one. The 14-hour commitment and evening return mean you'll spend most of the day in motion—water, walking, altitude—which is what makes the two major sites and the lake crossing fit into one trip.Free cancellationfromUS$ 239View ›
