This is the ''original'' Copacabana -- actually lending its name to the beach in Rio de Janeiro (city)|Rio (and yes, the Barry Manilow song). The name derives from the Aymara ''kota kawana'', meaning "view of the lake", and the region was revered by the Inca even before the Spaniards built their chapel of the Virgin and turned it into a Catholic pilgrimage site. http://wikitravel.org/en/Copacabana
