Copacabana, Bolivia
Clever girl, easy as fuck 3 hour bus from Puno costing £5 to make be journey.
Island of the sun is probably the big thing to do here. We can get a ferry at 8:30 and come back at about 4 to make it a full day thang. We could also try and do Island of the moon as well before the sun but we will wanna plan this depending on how we wanna play it. Potentially hike up Cerro El Calvario but that won't take long to do. There is also a basilica there but it doesn't seem like there is much else to do in the area. One thing that could be fun is to keep an eye out for the blessings of the cars where people get their new cars blessed at 11am and 2pm every day.

La Paz, Bolivia
4 hour bus journey for £5 each.
cholita wrestling
Theres the witches market which has more traditional things than a normal market. Go up to Mirador killi killi and use the telerofico to get around the city in the air. Challuma is a colourful neighborhood to walk around in. Day trip to Valle de la Luna. Potentially do a walking tour if we feel more inclined to do so. Los Qñapes is a recommended cafe to go to as many restaurants open after 7pm so dinner is late in Bolivia. Potentially look into a day trip to death road if we are interested.

Cochabamba, Bolivia
8hr bus for £13 each. Most of them are night buses but some exist during the day if we prefer.
potentiallly skip and fly from la paz to sucre
optional, national park with dinosaur imprints and fossils 4 hours away
For the city. There's a huge Christ statue we can go to but people don't recommend walking up as it's known for muggings but to take the cable car or a taxi instead. There's also an open air market as well as a famous house that looks extravagant that we can walk around for free.
Could do the national park but it's,4 hours away so it might be better to spend a night there if possible.

Sucre, Bolivia
CANFIDTATE FOR EXTRA DAY
$20 overnight bus or day long options if we want to.
Dinosaur footprints nearby to see (largest collection in the world). There's an anatomy museum and jewelry museum we can go see as well. The place is big on chocolate if we wanna do some chocolate tasting too. Not much else as it has the usual big city staples.

Potosi, Bolivia
Buses on bookaway £3 and 4 hours economy bus.
Interestingly enough the tour of Cerro Rico is infamous as it follows the daily lives of the miners themselves. Ethically it might be a touch questionable but I'm still keen on doing it if we can find a tour company that is reputable enough.
Read about it here https://www.paradisecatchers.com/is-potosi-worth-visiting-things-to-do/#What_we_did_not_do_in_Potosi_%E2%80%93_The_Cerro_Rico_Active_Mines_Tour
If we decide on not doing that there's plenty of neighbourhoods to walk around. We can take a tour of the minting factory and try volcanic soup (they put a volcanic rock in there while you eat it).
