Description

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.
In the town of Copacabana one can see the sanctuary of the Lady of Copacabana. We do not know the entire story of this revelation of the Virgin Mary or why it is called the Lady of Copacabana.
We were told that she is the patron saint of the mighty Titicaca Lake. Some days of the week the image is placed looking toward the town and other days toward the lake. We were lucky to get there on days when she was overlooking the town.
In Copacabana we saw the great devotion the people of Bolivia have for the Lady of Copacabana. We were told that every Saturday the town is crowded. Anyone that had acquired a car during the week would take it there to be blessed in front of the sanctuary. On Saturdays people from all over the Andean plateau, from places further away than La Paz, can be seen there.
