History of Copacabana

This is the original Copacabana -- actually lending its name to the beach in Rio. 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.
