Bolivia-Island of the Sun

in #bolivia7 years ago

There are hostels by the dock but there is more uphill in the center of Yumani village. The only way to get there is through the Escalera del Inca. Lake Titicaca's elevation hovers around 4,000 meters. Climbing those stairs was a lung buster. The air felt thin. If felt like there's a bunch of bricks duct taped to my legs. Each step was laborious. There are beautiful terraced gardens on the way up. So every so often, I'd take a break and checked those out.
After much effort, I arrived at Yumani. There was a lady yelling she’s got rooms available on her Refugio. I asked if she had one for one person. She said no she’s got two beds in one room and will charge me a room for two people. There was another group behind me and one guy was looking for a room as well. I introduced myself to Martin and we agreed to share the room.
Tip for solo travelers: Hostels here often book per bed instead of per person. If there are two beds in the room and will charge you for both. You can try to negotiate the rate but it's better if you find another solo traveler to share the room and pay half.U5drd9muGQJpbz98SraJ2s1JgxqMG5d_1680x8400.jpg
