Copacabana, Bolivia
On the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, this Bolivian city has very little in common with the famous Brazilian beach. Instead it is the locale of numerous religious celebrations held most often at the cathedral.
Basilica of the Virgen de la Candelaria, Copacabana
"The present cathedral, completed in 1805, is the most visited pilgrimage site in Bolivia and there are hugely attended festivals on the February 1-3, the saint’s day, May 23 (San Juan’s Day) and the first few days of August. The festival in August is extremely popular and Indian groups perform traditional dances accompanied by drums, flutes and pipes."
