A view of Copacabana, Bolivia from the ferry to Isla del Sol. 
Marisa and I on the ferry. 
The dock on the southside of Isla del Sol, with the Inca Stairway looking less steep than it was in the center of the photo. 
Here's a better view.
Near the top of the island, with parts of the village of Yumani in the background.
From the top of the island, with snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real in the distance. 
The hostel I stayed at on the top of the island, Puerta del Sol. 
The view south from my bedroom.
The view outside my door, facing west, over the balcony.
The village of Yumani in its entirety, from the second-highest peak on the island. 
From the summit, the view of the northern end of the island. 
Beginning my trek at 8am on the second day. 
Following the path along the island's eastern edge. 
A small creek along the way.
A cobblestoned stretch through a smaller village.
Now, on the northern end of the island, the path leading west toward the Inca sacred sites. 
The view looking north. 
According to Inca legend, the rock from which the sun and moon emerged. The sun from opening above, the moon from the one below.
Just to the left of the last photo, and a part of the same rock, Titicaca, the Rock of the Puma. (It is a quarter view of a Puma's head, with the mouth large and wide open, nose to the left, indentation for the eye in the center, and a hint of an ear to the upper right.) 
Looking in the opposite direction, facing the Puma, the Inca sacrificial table. 
On the Island of the Moon, the building that housed the Inca's Virgins of the Sun.
