Hi
Can anyone recommend aroute from Puno Peru crossing the border to La Paz.
I am guessing going around the Lake Atiticaka but which way?

I crossed at Copacabana, it was really nice and we had a private hotel overlooking the lake which was really cheap. From there you can get a very cheap (about 4 bols) ferry boat which takes about 30 mins to hit the main land again.

Also be vigilant in that area, I was told that there are several organised gangs doing express kidnappings.

Cheers guys!
err.. Bertrand that is very precise cheers mate.
Have saved the image and data.

can agree with pockethead.

Copacobana is really nice place. Spent there over a week last year. Pretty cheap and good hostels, nice to visit the island on the lake,... Nice sunset from the hill...

From there it was like 3hours by bus to La Paz...normally. It took us over 6hours, but thats another story...
