Inca legend says that this is where the sun was born. For us, it rained. The irony reminded us of another, "it never rains here experience", when we got caught in Mendoza, Argentina in a downpour. Nevertheless, on the shores of Lake Titicaca it is stunning. The entire north side of the island was closed due to conflict and protests, which left us only the south to explore.
You head to the island from Copacabana, an obvious tourist hot spot in Bolivia. It reminded us of Pushkar in India. We rented bikes (well paid a girl to take her and her friend's bike for the day) and biked out of town on the hardest bike we have ever done! Biking at close to 4000 m is not easy!!!
