Local knowledge for Copacabana

Where to stay

Most hostels cluster along 6 de Agosto and the streets fanning out from Plaza 2 de Febrero, close to the dock where boats leave for Isla del Sol. Staying within a block or two of the plaza puts you near the market, the cathedral, and every bus ticket office in town.

Getting around

Book Isla del Sol boat tickets the evening before at the dock on Avenida Costanera rather than through your hostel. You'll pay the same price and can choose your departure time.
Buses to La Paz leave from the main plaza area and take 3.5 to 4 hours, with a short ferry crossing at Tiquina included in the ticket. Buy directly from the bus companies on 6 de Agosto to skip hostel markups.
Climb Cerro Calvario in the late afternoon for sunset views over the lake. The path starts near the small chapel on the hill at the north edge of town, not behind the main basilica, and takes about 30 minutes each way.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest and easiest to find November through February during the rainy season. They fill up in June through August when dry-season travelers and Bolivian school holidays hit simultaneously.
