Things to do in Copacabana

  1. La Virgen de la Candelaria

    The famous wooden statue of La Virgen de la Candelaria lives – behind an unmarked door down a creepy black-wax-caked tunnel – around the side of a sparkling Moorish cathedral. Opening hours vary wildly; your best bet is between 2:30pm and 5:30pm.

  2. Sudna Wasi

    A convivial courtyard set back from the hectic market streets. The home-cooked menu includes hearty breakfasts, a dozen different salads and a few Bolivian specialties. The cutest abuela (grandmother) in the universe is sometimes sighted here.

  3. Café Bistrot

    European cool kids hang out here while chain-smoking, drinking espresso and forking into anything from Thai seafood curries to creative vegetarian fare. Service is slow, but nobody seems to mind.
