We spent a couple of nights on Isla del Sol, in Lake Titicaca. The weather was perfect, and we spent the time exploring the island and it's communitites.
Isla del Sol is the site of the Inka creation myth. Viracocha, the supreme Inka god, destroyed the area surrounding Lake Titicaca with a Great Flood. After this, his decendants Manco Kapac and Mama Ocllo sprung from the lake to found Cuzco and the Inka dynasty.
