A small Bolivian town on the shore of Lake Titicaca, Copacabana draws visitors to its 17th-century Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana — home to the image of Bolivia's patron saint and a major pilgrimage site nationwide. The town sits between two hills and has a café and restaurant scene substantial for its size. Boats depart from here to Isla del Sol, the sacred Inca island, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
