In the afternoon, we will be able to take a walk to visit some archaeological ruins and watch the sunset over Lake Titicaca from the top of the island, at an altitude of 4,130 meters (13,550 feet). At the end of the day, we will spend the night at the home of one of the families who live in this place.
