The Isla del Sol is home to interesting architectural works from the pre-Columbian period. It is here that, according to oral tradition, the Sun God took refuge during the Chamaj Pacha, the time of the flood and darkness. His children, Manko Kapak and Mama Okllo, began here the journey that later led them to found Cuzco. Some hotels or agencies in La Paz offer excursions to the Sun and Moon Islands. In the north, Challapampa, and Yumani, in the south, are the main villages of the island
