Overlooking the bay of CopacabanaCopacabana is a quiet Bolivian village on the shore of Lago Titicaca, at the border of Peru. Today, not much happens here, and it is a great place to relax and enjoy the sun and magnificent landscape with the Andinian peaks plunging into the frigid lake at an altitude of 3800 m. However, this region, and in particular the nearby Isla del Sol, is believed to be the birthplace of the Inca religion and civilization.
El templo el Inca en la Isla del SolThe Isla del Sol is a relatively small island that can be crossed in one day - it is a 3-hour pleasant walk from North to South - and that bears a striking resemblance to the Greek islands, if it were not from its pre-Inca and Inca ruins of temples, villages (where houses were connected by what looks like a maze of pathes) and other energy-charged sacred rocks. The weather was beautiful and it was a perfect way to spend my birthday. I hope to do more celebration this weekend in Arequipa, Peru.
