Copacabana is a small town in Bolivia located on a very unusual piece of land. The Lake Titicaca serves as border between Bolivia and Peru and Copacabana is an extension of land into that lake, a peninsula. What’s peculiar about this peninsula is that it’s connected to the mainland on the Peruvian side. So to go from any place in Bolivia to Copacabana it is necessary to either cross the lake or to go through Peruvian territory. As visitors, we did not have to worry about the geographical peculiarity. It has been resolved with some ferries capable of crossing busses full of people at Tiquina, a narrow point in Lake Titicaca between the peninsula and the Bolivian mainland. |
