Cerro Calvario
A pilgrimage hill north of town. Climb the Fourteen Stations of the Cross for views over Copacabana, its bay and Lake Titicaca at sunset.
Cerro Calvario rises north of Copacabana town to about 3,960 m, roughly 150 m above the town. Along the way stand stone crosses marking the Fourteen Stations of the Cross, a Catholic pilgrimage route, and the summit has an altar and small stalls. The climb takes about 30–40 minutes, and the view over the town, the bay and the lake is especially lovely at sunset. The altitude means taking it slowly, and the trail is steep and strewn with loose gravel. Darkness falls quickly after sunset, so bring a flashlight and warm clothing, and descend with companions.
