Imagine walking down a street with bars, restaurants and shops endding up at a beautiful bay where you you will see an incredible sunset engulfing the fishing boats on the blue waters of Lake Titicaca. This is Copacabana!

The village of Copacabana is a stunning stop while visiting Bolivia, and you can easily get there by bus from La Paz or Puno in Peru. Located on the Bolivian shore of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, the amazing Copacabana will enchant you with the spirituality born from the waters of a lake steeped in Inca myths. The town hosts a nice Plaza de Armas where you can visit its famous Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana, and it is here that every year hoards of pilgrims come to pray for the Virgin of Copacabana.

Traveling in Bolivia is something you won´t forget, and backpacking is the best way to visit Copacabana. The village of Copacabana has excellent hostels and many nice bars and restaurants. You can get really good Bolivian dishes and you must try the lake trout. On the main street you will find loads of artisans that offer their great works.

While wondering the village take advantage of nice walks of the towns surroundings, and also consider a boat trip to the Islands of the Sun and the Moon. They´re both incredible, though Sun Island is a little bigger and well prepared for visitors to stay. You can easily spend a day walking the Sun island and visit the many ruins and spectacular views it has to offer. You can stay overnight in Yumani, a small town in the southern part of the island.

Lake Titicaca is a magical place that will enhance any  travel experience, helping to make Bolivia somewhat an unforgettable backpackers destination.
