One of our most MEMORABLE adventures since we started this channel! Starting in the world’s HIGHEST capital city, La Paz, Bolivia. Here we check out the famous WITCHES MARKETS, cemeteries full of beautiful murals and least expected watch the CHOLITAS female indigenous WRESTLERS in the ring.
We explore to the birthplace of the Incan Empire as we spend 2 days hiking Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun) on the world’s highest navigable lake, LAKE TITICACA. Here we stay overnight in a remote village and visit Incan Ruins where in absolute tranquility I pop “THE BIG QUESTION” to Miranda! 💍
This is a journey we will never forget, we invite you to join us in this experience!

Introduction 0:00
La Paz 1:37
We arrive early in La Paz, after checking in to our hotel we head to the Mercado Rodriguez (produce markets) and sample some of the local beverages followed by the witches markets Mercado de Los Brujas. After lunch we undertake a city tour with Red Caps walking tours, starting at the General public Cemetery, which is filled with beautiful murals, before taking a cable car to the neighbouring city of El Alto.
El Alto 8:03
We take one of the city’s famous Austrian built Cable Cars to the world’s highest city, El Alto which sits at just over 4,000m asl. In Elto Alto we learn about indigenous spiritual beliefs in the real “witches market”. Afterwards we experience the unexpected where we see the petit indigenous ladies in their traditional dresses, known as Cholitas battle it out in the ring at the Cholitas Wrestling.
La Paz 16:18
On our final day in La Paz, we do a little souvenir shopping at the Witches Market and experience some of the best cuisine in South America at a unique restaurant where everything is made of Quinoa. We meet up with some friends from our Altiplano/Uyuni trip and have farewell dinner/drinks.
Lake Titicaca/Isla del Sol 20:07
We head north to the world’s highest navigable lake and the largest in South America, Lake Titicaca. From here we board a ferry to Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun), which is said to be the birthplace of the Inca Empire. We climb the famous Inca Steps to the town of Yumani and hike via the northern coast to the opposite end of the island. We are joined by a furry friend along the way and experience beautiful agricultural settlements and quaint villages on the way. Staying overnight in the remote village of Challapampa.
Isla del Sol/Lake Titicaca 32:47
We awaken the following morning and hike to the upper reaches of the island. Here we take in phenomenal vistas and visit the actual legendary birthplace of the Inca Empire at the Puma Rock. Nearby we enter a labyrinth of Incan Ruins called Chinkana, in this tranquility overlooking the lake I ask Miranda to “Marry Me”.
Our hike back could not have been more perfect (even in the heat) as we stop for lunch at a beautiful Villa in the town of Yumani. A Bus cancellation due to unrest from the town of Copacabana leaves us with the question of whether or not we will enter into Peru?
Oh my, my friends what beautiful memories of my trip to La Paz and the fantastic Lake Titicaca. Your journey across the Island of the Sun gave me the look of the whole island as we were there only a few hours, and our boats took us ashore just behind Puma Rock.
I was part of a spiritual group of 96 with friends from all over the world. We had two shaman that held ceremonies at the Puma Rock with about 70 that participated with San Pedro. I was part of the group that did not take part of the ceremony. The small group gathered around the great
table you described in the video. Our group was all members that were ancient souls brought together to travel the world activating power spots from times before memory. At that site we activated the Giant Inca Sun Disk that is located somewhere off the coast pictured with Peru in the background. It was placed there so the conquistadors would not steal it and melt it down to take back home. The Sun Disk was one of the most sacred items to the Inca given to them from the star people.
I believe the Inca ruins near Puma Rock is where you became engaged. "Fun note", as part of the ceremony 3
couples had their vows renewed in front of the rock that completed the day with a sense of true love.
Thank you again for taking me on my first journey to this magical part of the world. In 2017 we went to Peru for the second visit to Titicaca at Puna. And yes, even then there
was local strife in the area.
The very best to both of you in your future together.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful memories and experiences at Lake Titicaca and the Island of the Sun! It's amazing to hear about your spiritual journey and the significance of the ceremonies you participated in. We're thrilled that our video could bring back such vivid memories for you. Best wishes to you and your group in your future travels and spiritual endeavors.

Hi! Fun and cute little pigs. The idea of streets with umbrellas are very popular in cities 😊
Yeah I’ve also seen them around the world, looks cool. Those pigs were hilarious, especially watching them chase the dog and vice versa. Was hard to cut any of that footage in the main video!
Good morning. I am repeating myself again. However, another wonderful trip. The earth has some beautiful scenery. The laid out paths are fantastic. Reminds me of the same in Croatia's coast.
Thank you, I appreciate your repetition, I love to hear from viewers to let us know we are on the right path! We were thinking that also, definitely had a Mediterranean feel. Thank you for your comment!
