My girlfriend and I are leaving Cuzco on the evening of the 20th or morning of the 21st of August and need to be in La Paz by the 23rd. We are looking for advice on the best parts of Lake Titicaca to see on the way. We have heard that the Isla de Sol is well worth stopping at maybe more so than Puno?! We only have a couple of days in Cuzco so we may even want to spend an extra day there and simply bomb over to copacabana and then on to La Paz in a couple of days Hiya, I got an overnight bus from Cuzco to Puno, then a Copacabana bus from the Puno bus station a few hours 7am?
I arranged to pay for both sectors of the trip at the Cuzco bus station Hello, Be aware that the border is not open all day long. It closes at 5 or 6 pm, depending on the time zone. Bolivia is 1 hour ahead of Peru. I suggest to do as recommended above, i. The highlights of Lake Titicaca are: the Uros islands on the Peruvian side 30 minutes away by boat from Puno harbor , the Amantani and Taquile Islands 2 days tour with a home-stay in Amantani from Puno , the Sun a Moon Islands 1 or 2 days tour from Copacabana.
I can't remember having been in Puno at all. I spent two nights there, which frankly I thought was too much. Isla del Sol is a nice place, but not that nice; I can't speak about the other islands in the lake from personal experience, but I'd suppose they are equally not-so-interesting. So, instead of rushing to catch three islands, I'd head straight to Copacabana, spend a night on the shore or on the island, and then head on to La Paz.
