We just spent 2 wonderful days on Lake Titikaka, which separates Bolivia and Peru in the small towns of Copacabana, Bolivia and Puno, Peru.
We travelled to Copacabana from La Paz and after a day of looking around this small tourist spot we took a boat trip the next day to the Isle of Sol. This is a historic destination for the people of South America as this is stated as where the Inca´s originated from before movingto Cusco. We took a 11k walk from the North to the South of the Island and the scenery was again magnificent. The walk also served as a good warm up for the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu, which we start the day after tomorrow.
After a great day on the island we travelled the next day the short trip across the border into Peru and into Puno.
Puno has a beautiful central plazza and is also famous as the Urso people live on ´floating islands´made from reeds. We visited the islands and spent time with the people, who welcomed us into their homes and shared with us their customs and how they make the islands.
We´re now in Cusco - the final city of tour with Dragoman - where we will start and finish the Inca trail.
We are both looking forward to the Trek and Machu Pichu very much and at this moment are both feel in great shape for the 3-4 days of trekking.
