Copacabana Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Well, not the best first impressions... we arrived and checked into an ok looking hostal on the main street (hostal central), opposite the plaza.. anyway, we´d been on the night bus from Potosi, stopped for breakfast in la paz and got straight on a bus to Copacabana... so I was dying for a wee and a shower... Al said something about a bit of an ...

From Copacabana we did a day trip to Isla del Sol. This was actually one of the places that Luke had found in the footprint guide before we came away so we had to go really! We met a dutch couple the day we arrived who told us there were two options for the trip, one a half day just in the South of the Island and the other a full day where you g...

The next morning my stomach felt decidedly dodgy, something which would only worsen throughout the day. After a rather nice pancake breakfast, we were picked up at 9am in a mini-bus and made our way to the harbour. From there we boarded a boat which took us to the Floating Islands. Our tour guide, sporting a look that can only be described as 70...

And on to Bolivia. Caught an overnight bus from Cuzco, all pretty straight forward except for a 3 hour wait from 5am in a town called Puno on the Peruvian side. From there just a couple of hours to the border and an easy check out of Peru and check in to Bolivia and then just 10 minutes up the road to Copacabana. Not in Rio yet, the Bolivian Cop...

I'm sure some of you are familiar with the Copacabana of song fame... this is not there! This is very far from there, and much much colder.
Anyhow, this seems as good a time as any to talk about the favorite phrase of guides, guidebooks and tourist brochures in reference to Lake Titicaca: "The highest NAVIGABLE lake in the world." I am amuse...

JOEL: Well we arrived late night after a long bus journey from Puno which was all a bit surreal. We were only on there for an hour before we got to the border. However, the monthly border ceremony was in full swing (lots of peruvian and bolivian soldiers in full combat gear and other people in traditional dress, lots of speeches and music and ma...

I´m running a little late with the old blog but as I want to make sure that as many pins are in the map as possible, I´m not going to squeeze Copacobana and La Paz into one entry (feel free to skip around). Copacabana is a beautiful town just over the border from Puno. It´s by far the more picturesque side of Lake Titicaca and boy do you get a s...

No its not Copacabana in Rio, its Copacabana in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia. So the drive from La Paz to Copacabana was amazing!! Beautiful views of the Lake. Everyone on the bus had their cameras out. We only had one night here, which just isn't enough but we made the most of this quiet, relaxing town. Spent the afternoon taking in the amazing view ...

I´m never drinking again..... Justin tells me (again) after our two days of debauchery in La Paz... yeah right!! Left for our next stop in Copacabana or more famously Lake Titicaca. A whole bus full of ´gringos´ all heading for the Lake/Isla del Sol or onwards to Cuzco. After being landlocked for a month our first sights of Lake Titicaca were gr...

the days are flying by faster than i can handle, but filled with moments that stretch to eternity. i had a good end in cusco going horsebackriding with my friend and his father.... it rained alot of the day, but we were fortunate to see the most vibrant rainbow i have every glimped and so close i could touch it. precious beauty. we visited a few...
