Isla del Sol (“Island of the Sun“) is the largest Island on Lake Titicaca, it is on the Bolivian side of the lake. Isla del Sol, and especially the Chincana ruins and the Titi Kharka rock, were worshipped by the Incas as the birthplace of the sun and the first Incas. The Titi Kharka rock (Rock of the Puma, because the rock is claimed to be shaped like a crouching puma) gave the name of lake Titicaca. The Mesa Ceremonica, in front of the rock, is a ceremonial altar possibly used for human and animal sacrifices. The video shows hike from Challapampa to the North point of the island, sunset and sunrise over the lake, then hike from North to the South, to Yumani. Other inca ruins in the video: the Inca Steps, the Fountain of Youth, Temple of Pilcocaina. Recorded November 2013 in HD with Panasonic TM900.
