Copacabana is on the highest major lake of the world - lago Titicaca. According to Incan legends t
he birthplace of their civilisation. The road along the lake contrasted sharply with the other Andean highlands, which are mostly really dry. They had some real fields with things you can actually harvest with a smile on your face. Cows, sheeps and lamas were eating the juicy gras in harmony. Copacabana probably once was a place as nice as the villages on the road to get there. But when I people got the word, locals began building big time. Now the city is to big and lost it's charme. The dullness of the Lonley Planet and turism in general have not yet stepped on
the breaks. Thats why the Copacabana train keeps on rolling. To be fair - there are two nice hills next to the city that provide a perfect view of the lake and the sunsets. Since prices were slashed I stayed at a beachside hotel with a perfect view of the harbour, the sunsets and the TV.
