The Basilica of Our Lady of Copacabana is a 17th-century Spanish colonial shrine that houses the statue of the Virgen de Copacabana. The statue can be rotated; on weekends, it faces the church, and during the week, it can be seen in the Virgin's house on the first floor.

Copacabana beach is located on a crescent-shaped bay that opens to the northwest and has its own flair. The jetties that extend into the lake look anything but stable, and numerous small boats rock in the cool waters of Lake Titicaca.

The Way of the Cross was built on this hill in the 1950s when the government decided that Copacabana should have more to offer its thousands of pilgrims than just the Basilica of the Virgin Mary.

It is worth strolling around the central square. In addition to the shops, there is also a small park with lots of greenery.

The Basilica of the Virgin of Candelaria in Copacabana has been an important symbol for the local population since its construction. It houses the image of the Brown Virgin, carved in wood in 1582 by Francisco Tito Yupanqui, grandson of the Inca Tupac Yupanki. Originally in Renaissance style, it has become Moorish due to the time it took to build it (over 60 years). An interesting element of the adaptation of the Catholic religion is the open-air chapel, built so that the Indians could attend the open-air worship service that was customary for them. The cathedral also has an adjoining room, the House of the Virgin, where she stays during the week, since Tito Yupanqui had asked that it be oriented towards the lake.
