Copacabana · Things to do

A pre-Inca astronomical site on a rocky hill above town, used to track solstices. A short but steep walk up.

On Isla del Sol at Yumani, a stone stairway climbs from the jetty to a three-channel fountain still in use.

One of the best-preserved Inca buildings on Isla del Sol, on the south shore, with trapezoid doorways intact.

Paddle the sheltered bay for a lake-level view of the town and hills. Calmest early, before the wind builds.

The candle chapel beside the basilica, walls black with soot, where pilgrims light candles and write wishes.
