Copacabana is the main Bolivian town on the shore of Lake Titicaca. The town has a large 16th-century shrine, the Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana. Our Lady of Copacabana is the patron saint of Bolivia. The town is a destination for tourism in Bolivia. The town is also known for its famous Basilica, home of the Virgin of Copacabana, its trout, and its quaint atmosphere. Built between Mount Calvario and Mount Niño Calvario, the town has approximately 6,000 inhabitants. (Wikipedia)
This picture was taken at Plaza 2 de Febrero (2 de Febrero Square), at the back you can see Mount Calvario. Going up there is a real challenge since the town is 3,841 metres above sea level.
