The town is small and easy-going, built around a white Moorish-style basilica that houses the Virgin of Copacabana, Bolivia's patron saint, and a waterfront lined with pedal boats and trout restaurants.\r\n\r\nMost visitors come for Isla del Sol, the Island of the Sun, which Inca legend holds as the birthplace of the sun and of the first Inca. Boats leave town every morning for the island's villages, with terraced hillsides, ruins and paths along a ridge high above the water. Staying a night on the island is the best way to see it, after the day boats leave.\r\n\r\nCopacabana is also the natural stop between La Paz and Puno in Peru, which makes it a popular border crossing. Two or three days is ideal: one in town and up Cerro Calvario for sunset, one or two on Isla del Sol.","hw_hub_city_facts":"Languages | Spanish and Aymara\r\nCurrency | Boliviano (BOB).

The path is steep and the altitude is real, so go slowly, but the view across the water to the islands is one of the finest in Bolivia. The basilica is worth visiting too, and at weekends you may see the blessing of cars, when owners bring decorated vehicles to be blessed with flowers and beer.\r\n\r\nIsla del Sol is the main trip. Boats leave in the morning for the south of the island at Yumani, with its Inca stairway, terraces and lodges, and some continue to the north. The island's communities have restricted access to some areas in recent years, especially the north, so ask in town which parts are open before you go, and bring small change for the community fees on the paths.\r\n\r\nOn the water, kayaks and pedal boats are for hire along the beach, and Isla de la Luna, a smaller island with the ruins of a temple, can be combined with Isla del Sol on a boat tour.","hw_hub_city_do_points":"Cerro Calvario | Sunset over the lake from the hill of crosses\r\nIsla del Sol | Inca ruins and ridge paths.
