Copacabana
Nestled between two hills on the southern shores of the sparkling cobalt-blue Lake Titicaca, the attractive town of Copacabana is the main jumping-off point for travelers visiting Isla del Sol or traveling overland to Peru. Apart from its proximity to the lake, the town is famed for its dazzling white Moorish-style basilica decorated in colorful azulejos (ceramic tiles) and domes, which tower over the central square. Built on the site of an ancient temple, the basilica is a reminder of Copacabana’s sacred status that existed well before the Spanish conquest.
