Copacabana Vacation Guide
Normally Copacabana (on the border with Peru and lakeside from Titikaka Lake) for the tourists is one of the entry points to Bolivia, after a short stay they continue to La Paz (three hours by bus, with ten minutes in boat crussing the Titikaka Lake in Tiquina).
But for many Bolivians and Peruvians is a place of pilgrimage and veneration to the Virgin of Copacabana - our mother - who is the patron saint of Bolivia.
That is why the Church of Copacabana, built by the Franciscans is one of the icons of Catholicism in Bolivia.
A copy of the image of the Virgin of Copacabana was sent to Rio de Janeiro - Brazil and is revered in another church in the neighborhood of Copacabana in that city, making it more known the Brazilian Copacabana that the Bolivian Copacabana, being that the Bolivian has given rise to the Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro.
From Copacabana can also take tours to the "Sun Island" and the "Moon Island", and there are two walks desirable, "The Calvary" and "The Hanging Inca".

I'd run out of my Bolivian money a while ago, and Olav had kindly paid the boat and bus for me, so I had to find a bank to get some money to pay him back. Olav meanwhile had to find himself a hotel to stay in, as he had reached his destination. So we split up but agreed to meet again for lunch 30 m…

Copacabana, Bolivia -› Peru -› …
After a long bus ride I was exhausted and easily found a hostal to park in for a day. The lady running the hostal was absolutely beautiful, with a smile that lit up the entire building. She offered a room in the main area, but I wanted something on the upper level so that I could have a view of Lak…

I had to make my way back to the border with Peru to renew my passport as it’s already been 3 months that I’ve been in Bolivia. I decided that it was high time to see Cuzco and Macchu Pichu since I’d already spent 5 months in Peru and hadn’t been to the most famous monument in South A…
