<By Emma and Jay> Hola ! Nous avons finalement quitte La Paz.... Apres quelques heures de bus, un passage de bac, puis re-quelques heures de bus, nous voici au bord d'une petite station balneaire bolivienne : Copacabana ! Nous nous sommes offert un peu de confort : chambre avec baignoire et douche et vue imprenable sur le Lac Titicaca depu...

May 5, 2008 Copacabana, Bolivia We left La Paz this morning in our tour bus which had tourists crammed inside and backpacks piled high on top. Our tailored tour will take us to Copacabana then by boat to Isla del Sol where we'll spend the night on the island returning at noon to catch a bus to Puno; all of this, including our meals, entrance fee...

Copacabana was a really cool chill out place... reminded me a bit of Christania in Copenhagen (which is where all the hippies hang out for those who don't know Copenhagen)... We were even lucky enough that there was a festival on while we were there... Although the days were nice, sunny and hot, the nights were still quite cold...

We caught the bus from La Paz to Copacabana with Taro who we´d previously met in Puerto Natales and happened to be on our flight back from the Amazon. Copacabana is the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca and when the bus pulled up by a big lake we thought we´d arrived and were confused when the conductor seemed to be telling bus to board a small boa...

We took a bus from La Paz to Copacabana which is on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca is known as the world's highest navigable lake and is higher than La Paz at about 3800-4000 metres above sea level. On the bus trip we were surprised when we were all asked to get off the bus, still with al of our luggage in the bus and catch a ...

There is not a lot to do here except go to one of the islands on lake Titicaca. I am not a big island fan so I gave that a miss. It takes about an hour to do the the high lights of the town. It is Sunday, So I decide to have a lazy day in front of the TV in my room. English TV is a luxury now. I do not feel guilty watching it. The next day I hav...

We arrived to Copacabana on a misty and cloudy afternoon, but the view on the way into the city was quite impressive. Copacabana is a small little coastal town that definitely deserves a visit. I also need to mention the restaurant La Orillo...absolutely amazing and EXCELLENT value! The Hotel Utama also deserves some rave reviews as the breakfas...

We timed our visit to Copacabana to coincide with the local Virgin del Candelaria festival. No Barry Manilow at all. Disappointing. We had initially hoped to get in the day earlier, but the bus heading for Lake Titicaca ran late and left us in danger of arriving at a closed and lonely Bolivian border post. A tiny but entertaining **IN RETROSPECT...

Nuit torride de bruit d'ascenseur, Francis a été un peu malade et nous n'avons presque pas dormi, lui et moi, à partir d'1h du mat. Départ en bus à 7h pour rencontre avec l'ambassadeur du Canada en Bolivie et avec un docteur ministre de la santé. Redépart en bus pour Copacabana, une ville à 4h de bus environ de La Paz qui est située sur la rive ...

Ardent readers of this column may recall that we had decided to head for the park, weary as we were of travelling. Well, as it was, a 12 day compulsory rest in Sucre while Nick convalesced revived our energies considerably, and we resolved to keep travelling until carnival (1 February), and then head for the jungle to volunteer. So we headed for...
