ISLAND of the SUN, BOLIVIA ..........According to Inca folklore, the Island of the Sun was the home of their supreme god, Inti. There was a small community that lived on the Island of the Sun and they were set up for visitors. There was a temple to the sun not far from the docks, but I didn't find a path to it. My guess was you had to climb high up the mountain to cross over to the temple. I climbed halfway up the mountain. That was far enough. |

In
the high altitude, that was all that was going to be managed. But,
halfway up the mountain, I found what I wanted - two
very young girls with two very young alpacas. They posed for
photos, and they were simply adorable.

I
still think any tour should have included a stop at the Temple of
the Sun. Mine didn't, others did. So, I was very pleased
that at least we passed by the temple on the boat ride back to Copacabana.
I would have been even happier if we stopped to explore. Perhaps
I need to write a letter to the tourism board or Barry Manilow.
