Lake Titicaca - Copacabana
Christian March 28th, 2008
We were in La Paz stuck with a dilemma. It was Wednesday and we were told that it was going to be impossible to find accommodation in Copacabana during the holy week. Apparently thousands of Bolivians flock to Lake Titicaca to ask for repentance each year during holy week. Do we fly to Rurrenabaque and explore the Amazon for a three day tour and come back after holy week to Copacabana, or do we book an expensive tour to Copacabana that would drop us off on the Peruvian side of the lake? After talking to the tour agent about the rainforest, we realized we had one option, to take the tour of Copacabana during holy week since the planes to the rainforest were sold out. We booked our tour to Copacabana with Zig Zag tours in La Paz. It was very nice, our guide Jose met us at our hostel early in the morning before boarding a tourist bus to Copacabana.
