Copacabana · Nightlife

Cafes along Avenida 6 de Agosto put chairs out facing the water. This is the town's idea of a big night.

In early February and August the plaza fills with brass bands and dancing that runs through until dawn.

Basic guesthouses in Yumani, no cars, minimal power, and the best stars on the lake. Bring a torch and cash.

A short strip of small bars near the square catering to the Peru-Bolivia crossing crowd. Everything closes early.

Hot purple-maize drink with fried cheese pastries, sold from stalls once it gets dark. Warming and about a euro.
