Bolivia is a country with great tourist diversity, due to its cultural diversity, its geographical regions, and its varied cuisine. Copacabana was one of the first tourist destinations in Bolivia. It is a city on the border with Peru and is visited by many people from around the world to navigate the highest navigable lake in the world, as well as some of the islands within it, among which we can highlight the Sun Island, the largest island in Lake Titicaca, located on the Bolivian side. It is related to the Sun God cults because, according to legend, Inti—the Sun God—created his son Manco Cápac and his daughter Mama Ocllo there, the first Incas who founded the city of Cusco.

  • !The climate is high-altitude desert, which means there is a large temperature variation between day and night throughout the year. The average annual temperature is 14°C and the minimum is 3°C.
  • !Many excursions include visits to areas in the Chilean altiplano above 3,500 m.a.s.l., where altitude sickness symptoms may occur.
