Hotel Mirador de Copacabana

Hola quapies! Vnauit een zonnig Copacabana groeten wij u. En nee, niet de Copacabana in Brazilie waar Captain Stubing met zijn love boat altijd aanmeerde, maar Copacabana in Bolivia aan het Titicacameer, op ongeveer 3800 m hoogte. De bus vanuit ...

... de végétaux, sur lesquelles vivent des gens depuis très longtemps), très connues (îles Uros), mais pas qu'il y en avait au large de Copacabana ! Ni le Routard ni le Lonely Planet n'en parlaient. On a donc réservé un tour, à 30 Bs par personne. Ce ...

... a two our bus to Puno (where the strikes had died down). Puno was where the fun began. When I booked my bus ticket in Copacabana I was promised a semi-cama seat. What I got was a minibus where I couldn´t even move my seat back. Therefore close to ...

... and the altitude seemed to get to everyone, as post-lunch all bar Ashleigh decided to nap, so Ashleigh had a walk round Copacabana up to the cathedral, before following a parade through the streets. On return everybody was still sleeping! So, naturally, ...

... the 60-day Visa without the bribe, but Steve is still left with a bad taste in his mouth as his first impression of Bolivia. Copacabana is only 8km away, so we stop there for a late 2pm lunch of fried trout. The city is still super touristy and ...

... in my now stiff and sculptured hair.  The next day we flew back to La Paz and I hoped to head directly to Copacabana and lake Titicaca.  But unfortunately bus timetables had other plans and I had to spend another night in La Paz, which actually ...
