Things to do in Bolivia

Visit the spellbinding Pre-Columbian ruins of the Tiwanacu - 'Cradle of the American Civilisations' and once the largest city in the world. Situated just 44 miles west of La Paz, the ruins are considered by many to be the most important pre-Inca sites in the Americas. View the Sun Gate, the Monoliths, the temples of Kalasasaya and Kontiki, the Akapana artificial Pyramid and exceptional art and metal work.

Mythical stories await on the Escape to Sun Island experience which takes you from Puno to Sun Island via Moon Island. After transferring to Copacabana on the shore of Lake Titicaca you will board a hydrofoil which will transport you to Moon Island, where, legend says, the Inca god Varacocha controlled the rising of the moon. Here you will visit the Sun Virgins Temple Iñak Uyu. The next stop is Sun Island where you will visit a number of enthralling Inca Ruins including the Inca Staircase and Sacred Fountain. The tour continues with lunch at the archealogical restaurant 'Uma Kollu' and a visit to a handicraft market and Copacabana Cathedral.

The ancient tribe of the Uros precede the Incas and have long made their home on the tranquil waters of Lake Titicaca. According to legend the Uros existed before the birth of the sun and they are shrouded in mythology. The unique floating islands are constructed from layers of rotora reeds that are constantly topped up with new layers to replace reeds at the bottom which rot away. Up to ten families can live on an island and the islands are expanded to accommodate additional members of the family.
