From Copa we took another boat across for a day trip to Isla del Sol for a bit of an inca trail warm up, walking at 4,000m from the North to South end of the island.

| Mask in Coca museum, Puno |
From Copa across the boarder and into Peru, we stopped in Puno visiting the surprisingly interesting Coca museum which combined a room dedicated to the humble coca leaf and carnival costumes.
This was also the opportunity to taste some peruvian delicacies, including alpaca and guinea pig

The reeds are used for pretty much everything, from the island, the houses, the boats and they can even be eaten, of course we had to have a little taste.
