Hi,
I am going to Peru, Bolivia and Brazil in December for 5 weeks. I intend going to Lake Titicaca and Copacabana. My questions are:
1. Considering I don't have all the time in the world, what's the quickest way to get from Copa to La Paz? Bus all the way or bus to Cochabamba and then a flight?
2. From there I need to get to Recife in Brazil. Is it better to fly from La Paz or Santa Cruz. It seems that all the flights from these airports go to Sao Paolo or Rio first. Does anyone know if I can avoid going via Sao Paolo or Rio?
3. Is it worth staying a couple of days in La Paz?
T
hanks for your help.

I believe it's only 3-4 hours from Copacabana to La Paz (by bus). And Copacabana is much closer to La Paz than it is to Cochabamba, unless we're talking about different things or I'm missing something.

Sorry! I forgot to mention that I might go to Cochabamba to visit some friends. So, I would get the bus from Copa to La Paz, but should I get a flight from La Paz toCocha? How long is the bus journey to Cocha?
