Explore La Paz's historic centre and cable-car network before a separately reserved road transfer to Copacabana on Lake Titicaca. Visit the town and travel as a foot passenger to the southern part of Isla del Sol, returning by a separately confirmed boat to Copacabana. This six-day high-altitude journey needs acclimatisation and current road, boat and community-access checks; northern island sectors and the full ridge hike are outside the trip.
La Paz, Copacabana & Isla del Sol is a 191 km one-way journey (with a driver). It works best as a 6-day trip; the plan below is the 6-day version for June, built from 255 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
