The 7 Summits Club guide Olga Rumyantseva sends from Bolivia:
Greetings from Bolivia, where the Adventures of Zvyaginshtein group continues its journey. Today we had a very long day, full of various impressions.
Early in the morning we left La Paz towards Lake Titicaca to the city of Copacabana. We were very lucky. Yesterday the road was blocked by protesters, and it was impossible to drive along it. Now the road has been cleared. True, there were stones and all sorts of barricades left.
Therefore, traffic was difficult in some places. On the way to Copacabana, we stopped at the Kon-Tiki Museum - a place where the family lives, who helped make boats for Thor Heyerdahl for his expeditions. We looked at the boats and drove on.
To get to Copacabana, we crossed Lake Titicaca at its narrowest point by ferry from the town of Sao Paulo to the town of Sao Pedro. Such is the interesting geography. We walked around Copacabana a bit, looked at the local cathedral, walked around the market.
Then we got on a boat and went on a trip around the lake to the Island of the Sun. Upon arrival on the island, the first thing we did was look at the ancient ruins - the residence of the Inca emperor. Then we tasted local products. And after having a snack, we went on a short trek around the island to our hotel.
We checked into a very cozy hotel with a view of the Island of the Moon, where we will go tomorrow, and after a short rest we went for another walk to watch the sunset. Such a busy day it turned out to be.
