The city
Copacabana is a pilgrimage village on the Bolivian shore of Lake Titicaca, at about 3,800 metres and 155 km from La Paz. The basilica da Virgem de Copacabana, with white domes, dominates the square, and the Cerro Calvario has views over the bay. Boats to the Isla del Sol and the Isla de la Luna leave from the port. It is also a stop on the overland route between La Paz and Puno.

The local experience
17th-century sanctuary with white domes and tiles, featuring the image of the Virgin of Candelaria carved by Francisco Tito Yupanqui around 1576, a walled courtyard and the chapel of candles beside it.
Hill above Copacabana with the 14 stations of the way of the cross along the stone path to the top, from where you can see the village, the bay, the peninsula and Lake Titicaca as far as the Isla del Sol.
Island of terraces and trails on Lake Titicaca, about 1½ hours by boat from Copacabana, considered by the Incas the place where the Sun was born, with the Yumani staircase, the ruins of Pilko Kaina and the Chinkana labyrinth.
Small island on Lake Titicaca east of Isla del Sol, with the ruins of Iñak Uyu, the Inca temple of the chosen women, on terraces above the lake and facing the Cordillera Real.
