Introducing Copacabana
Nestled between two hills and perched on the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, Copacabana (Copa), is a small, bright and enchanting town. It was for centuries the site of religious pilgrimages, and today local and visiting Peruvian pilgrims flock to its fiestas.
Although it can appear a little tourist-ready, the town is a pleasant place to wander around. It has scenic walks along the lake and beyond, and is the launching pad for visiting Isla del Sol. With its many excellent cafés it makes a pleasant stopover between La Paz and Puno or Cuzco (Peru).
