Copacabana

Copacabana is the main Bolivian town on Lake Titicaca but it´s a quaint sleepy place where every one seems to eat giant popcorn snacks and whiles away the day doing... nothing.

We went there cause i liked the name and because it`s where boats leave for Isla del Sol, the sacred Inca island. The town is also known by its famous Basilica, home of the Virgin of Copacabana and its trout.

After Uros and Taquile on the Peru side, Isla del Sol wasnt as impressive but we got a good walk out of the trip and i dont think i could ever tire of looking at Lake T-it´s beautiful. We stayed in a brand spanking new room with a lake view for about 6 pounds, so we were pretty happy whiling away three days in Copacabana!
