Send Flowers to Copacabana, Bolivia

Copacabana rests on a bay of Lake Titicaca, near the border with Peru, and is Bolivia's most important place of pilgrimage. Its white basilica houses the Virgin of Copacabana, patron of the country, and in front of the church priests bless cars decorated with garlands of flowers. Pilgrims climb Cerro Calvario, and boats leave from the beach for the Isla del Sol.

Flowers therefore have a devotional role here as well as a personal one. People send them to relatives in town, to guests staying in the lakeside hotels, or as a gesture of thanks around the feasts of early February and early August. Flower delivery in Copacabana is offered the same day from Monday to Saturday for orders before 11:00 am Bolivian time; because the town is small and reached from La Paz by a lake crossing at Tiquina, delivery may at times be next day. No deliveries are made on Sundays. A phone number is required.
