ACCOMMODATIONS:
Hotel Rosario Del
Lago has an ideal location on the bay
with inviting places for lounging and eating with outstanding
views of Lake Titicaca while at the same time offering an easy
stroll to discover the rest of Copacabana. Rooms range from
standard to family-style and even a "cabin" in the garden.
We had a "suite" which was accessed by a spiral staircase
near the reception desk. It was sparkling clean, very well
appointed and had stunning views from all three main rooms,
one ensuite bathroom and another bathroom. The price was
slightly less than two standard rooms and allowed us to enjoy
some family time in the privacy of our own room.
Highly recommend.

ARRANGEMENTS:
Hotel: Made reservation directly with
Hotel
Rosario in La Paz
through email for accommodations in La Paz and Copacabana (Del
Lago) . Contact person was Ana Maria Limachi (she was most
helpful) at
reseras@hotelrosario.com . All went well.
Tours: We did a self guided tour of
Copacabana on foot. It is not a big place and we felt
comfortable "wandering around".

BREAKFAST buffet at the hotel was filling with
breads, pastries, meats, cheeses, cereals, fruits, juices, teas and coffee.
LATE LUNCH was had at the Hotel Rosario.
Sherrie had been looking forward to Lake Titicaca trout while enjoying the
lake view ... she was not disappointed and the others enjoyed
their selections.

PLACES TO GO:
The Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana is dedicated to the
patron saint of Bolivia. This site, once an Inca Temple of
the Sun, remains of importance to the indigenous peoples and
Catholics alike.
There are a number of attractions to see within hiking or
boating distance of town, most notably the pilgrimage site on El
Calvario and the sacred Isla del Sol in Lake Titicaca.
We chose to stay in Copacabana and stroll.

TO & FROM:
From Puno, Peru to Copacabana, Bolivia by
TourPeru bus.
From Copacabana to La Paz by

van bus. It is a partner company with Hotel Rosario and
arrangements were made along with accommodations. Turisbus picked us up at the hotel in Copacabana and delivered
us to the front door of Hotel Rosario in La Paz with one stop at
a viewpoint overlooking La Paz. It was higher in price
than local buses.
