Today we simultaneously rode the coolest and scariest ferry I’ve ever been on. The plan for the day was to drive from Copacabana, Bolivia, to the capitol city of La Paz. By taking the ferry at Ancoamaya, the distance between cities is relatively short, only 95 miles. The other way to get to La Paz from Copacabana is to drive back across the border into Peru at the nearby town of Yunguyo. We would then need to backtrack through Peru for about 2 hours, and then reenter Bolivia at the southern edge of Lake Titicaca, at the border town of Desaguadero. This second route involves a lot more distance, time, and all the hassles that two border crossings usually entail. So, hearing from other travelers that the ferry ride at Ancoamaya would be an experience to remember, off we went! The pictures below pretty much sum up the trip!  You can click on the map or any of the pictures below to make them bigger, once the full webpage loads.
