Two hour boat ride to the island, most people slept while I caught up with the blog.
This place was inhabited by the Tiwanaku, people interested in astrology and art, easily taken over by the Incas.
The ruins at this place are so so but the walk along the island was worth the trip. The first was a set of labyrinths and the second was a resting spot for the Inca. At the resting spot was a mixture in the architecture, the trapezoid of the Incas and the steps of the Tiwanakus. The room for the Inca was well protected and door so low that there was no option but to crouch down as you entered before the Inca.
The 9 km walk across the three hills of the island was very picturesque and one of the easiest we have done.
Crossed over in a ferry at night in between our drive to La Paz, felt like the boat people that come to Australia. The truck, Gus, had her own ferry, it was a tight fit.
