Isla del Sol, or Island of the Sun, is the largest island on Lake Titicaca. The island was considered sacred in the Inca religion and said to be the birth place of the sun. Only accessible by boat, the island has a calm and peaceful environment, dotted with small farming villages and Incan archeological remains. On a clear day, the view from the high points of the Island is stunning as the deep blue expanse of Lake Titicaca contrasts beautifully with the bright green slopes of the island and the snowcapped Andean peak on the eastern horizon.
