Copacabana is a town 88 miles (140 kilometers) from La Paz on Lake Titicaca known for its Shrine of the Virgin of Copacabana to which many Bolivians make pilgrimages. Copacabana can be reached by car from La Paz in about 4 hours via paved road with beautiful views of Incan-built terraces. A day tour from La Paz includes a hydrofoil boat ride from Huatajata (a town on the lake) to Copacabana. The road trip includes a ferry crossing on barges at the Straits of Taquina.
