De bedste seværdigheder i Copacabana

Copacabana Essentials

Copacabana serves as a spiritual hub on the shores of Lake Titicaca, anchored by the 17th-century Moorish-style Basilica. The region preserves significant Inca heritage, including the stone labyrinth of Chinkana and the Pilko Kaina palace on Isla del Sol. Steep stone paths lead to the summit of Cerro del Calvario for panoramic views, while the nearby Isla de la Luna houses the ancient Palace of the Virgins. This high-altitude sanctuary blends pre-Columbian astronomical sites with vibrant colonial religious traditions.
