Legend has it that on that island Sol created his son, Manco Capac and his daughter Mama Ocllo, the first Incas who later went north to found Cusco in the heart of what would become the Inca empire.
To get to the island of the sun, the only way to get there is via Copacabana on the Bolivian side of the lake. The city of Copacabana is 2 hours from Puno, on the Peruvian side.
Once there you can discover postcard landscapes, important archaeological sites and Quechua and Aymara communities that today maintain their ancestral traditions.
Throughout the entire island there are several archaeological sites, where the “Sacred Rock” or Rock of the origins stands out, which according to the chronicles was the site from which Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo left to found the city of Cuzco. Likewise, the Chinkana or labyrinth is appreciated, in addition to the Pilkokaina Palace from the Inca period, unique for its constructive characteristics.
When to travel to Isla del Sol
You can visit all year round and enjoy a cold semi-arid climate. The temperatures during the year vary between 25 ° C to 15 ° C during the day while at night the temperatures drop radically even below 0ºC.
The best and recommended time to visit the island is between May and October because the days are warm and sunny, but the nights will always be quite cool.
The ideal time of stay is 2 days to be able to enjoy the northern area, visit the ruins, make the Inca Trail to the southern area, rest and the next day enjoy the sunrise on the island and return to Copacabana.
Ollagüe volcano
The Ollagüe volcano is an active stratovolcano located on the border of Bolivia and Chile, in the Antofagasta Region in Chile, and the Department of Potosí, in Bolivia, in the Andes mountain range, with a height of 5868 meters above sea level, and has a crater 1250 meters in diameter, which has been eroded in the southern part.
Stone Tree – The largest tree in the world
It is located at the entrance to the Andean Fauna National Reserve, very close to the Uyuni salt flat, in the Siloli Desert.
With a height of almost 5 meters, this rock of volcanic origin has been shaped by the action of the winds until composing, through years of erosion, the rare image that ended up giving it its name as the Stone Tree.
Its rocky composition is made up mainly of iron, whose greatest wear occurs with the abundant winter rains. At this time of year, the area reaches temperatures of up to 30 degrees below zero. On the other hand, the summer season attracts suffocating heat. This extreme climate has favored erosive corrosion that has carved the stone.
The red lagoon
It could be that the water in this lagoon is of such a special color because the thousands of Andean flamingos that go there to breed their feathers fade.
It takes its name from the hue of the waters that appear reddish thanks to the pigments released by the algae.
Why go to the Laguna Colorada?
It has enough reasons to see it, among them that it is a 54 square kilometer lagoon, being the perfect area for exploring and observing birds. Its nature is impressive and also very beautiful.
