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 minutes later.
Copacana... what can I say. I've never been to its Brazilian namesake, but I think the name is all the two cities have in common. The Bolivian Copacana has a beautiful cathedral, and ...

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 America. Most foreigners fly in to Lima and then immediately head for Cuzco by plane or bus, walk the Inca Trail to Macchu Pichu and then get out of Peru. I did everything backwards. ...

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 Lake Titicaca and the city.
First of all, that room was SMALL! I could easily reach across the room and touch both walls at the same time. It was perfect. The pinkest, pepto-bismal pink I have ever s...

BUS JOURNEY
So leaving Hands-On I knew this was gonna be a mission to get to Copacabana to meet back up with Bend. I first went to Cuzco and from there Im getting a bus to Copacabana.
The bus to Cuzco took 13 hours but I got the decent seats and just slept the whole way.
Arrived at 8am and the next direct bus to Copacabana was at 10pm...great. I left my South America book with Bend so had no idea how to figure what to do.
Had some breakfast and one of my new things I decided at Hands-On w...
