The group tour starts at 8.00 hrs., the private tour at 8.30 hrs., when the guide comes to pick you up from your hotel in Copacabana.
You will go to the port to go on board of the public or private boat that brings you in 1¾ to Challapampa on the north side of Isla del Sol.
There you will walk for some 45 minutes to the Chincana ruins.
On the way you can see Las Pisadas del sol (prints of the sun) and La Roca Sagrada (the holy rock). At La Chincana you will see the ruins of labyrinths and houses.

After this visit you will go on board again to be taken to Yumani on the south side of the island. This takes about 45 minutes.
