| Miguel, Jan, Esther and Inga on the beach at 3,850 m |
The 3 hour-drive from La Paz was well worth it. The vistas along the way were breathtaking. And check out the amazing blues of the lake and the sky! We feel fortunate to share Esther´s journey home with her.
And a few more impressions from Copacabana, too!
 |
| Inkan balsa-boat called a totora. Well a remake, no doubt - it has a small outboard engine - still cool to see. |
 |
| View of Lago Titicaca from the road to Copacabana. |
 |
| Inka warrior welcoming those crossing the strait. |
 |
| The colonial church of the Virgen de Copacabana. Pilgrims and visitors from around the world come to light candles and walk the stations of the cross up Cerro Calvario. |
 |
| Central plaza in Copacabana. Check out the cactus in bloom. |
 |
| And the Virgin doesn´t discriminate: The first time a vehicle comes to Copacabana it is "baptized" and decorated to bring it good luck. |
Ahahah!! I do believe I see a beach! Now, this would be MY kind of stop (for a week or two) enough with the 21kg packs and rocky terrain!
