Excursions
The favourite escape from La Paz is a trip to Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake straddling the Peruvian/Bolivian border at 3,962m (13,000 feet). It’s an easy three-hour bus journey along paved roads and the view from the window is always spectacular. Travellers congregate in Copacabana, famous for its Cathedral with its black wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, while a boat trip to the Isla del Sol is a truly serene experience. Turisbus, Avenida Illampu 704 (tel: (02) 245 1341; website: www.turisbus.com) will organise transport plus lunch at its smart hotel on the shores of Titicaca, Hotel Rosario del Lago (website: www.hotelrosario.com/lago).
