After over a month in Peru, we took a few holidays in Copacabana (Bolivia). We enjoyed it, even though the prices are overinflated and unrealistic. For example, we went to a "restaurant" where they charged 30 Bolivianos (same as Danish kroner, and about 4€) for a guacamole salad, that consisted of half a tomato, half an onion and half avocado cut in a few pieces without any dressing, literally! Andrés told the owner that we could have bought the same vegetables at the market for 3 Bolivianos and wouldn't pay more than 15 Bolivianos for it. The owner did not want to listen, until Andrés threatened to tell everybody on the street about it.
But Copacabana is a nice a cozy town, with many cute shops, interesting pre-Incan and Incan ruins, and from where you can take boat trips to the historical 'Isla del Sol' and 'Isla de la Luna'.

More precisely, a traditional Aymara house. |
