    Great tour with Sergio

    We did the tour of Copacabana, Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna (3 days). We were alone with our guide Sergio so we got the ‘private’ tour experience just for the two of us. Transportation was great - from and to the hotel; and within lake Titicaca -, the trekking routes and Inka ruins above our expectations and experiencing the local foods and accommodations was fantastic. We learnt a lot and got to enjoy nature at 4,050m!

    Excellent week thanks to William

    This is clearly the best agency. William is very kind and helped us with everything. The prices were the most interesting at his house

    Excellent

    Excellent Service, very attentive staff and very trustworthy. The walk was quiet, very explaining. Right to a great meal at Lake Titikaka.

    100% recommended

    Perfectly timed and tailor-made to our requirements, we had the most wonderful experience. Starting in Tiahanacu, then two days in Copacabana and the islands, we were impressed by the guide's, Mirko, knowledge and sympathy. He answered thoroughly to every single question, he knew everyone around, thus making us feel at ease while enjoying some of the best Bolivian spots. Definitely recommend

    Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.

    How much does Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $872 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Paz is not rushed.

    Is Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days)?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Paz can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Paz within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Paz?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Paz?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Paz?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days)?

    +

    Included: Hotel in Puno; Entrance and hotel on the Isla del Sol; Breakfast (day 2); Private transport La Paz - Copacabana; and Sun Island Tour. Not included: Dinner in Puno (Day 2); and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days)?

    +

    Office # 7 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) offered in?

    +

    It runs in Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Copacabana, Island of the Sun (2 days) if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
