Is Copacabana, Bolivia safe?

Copacabana is generally pretty safe for tourists, with a calm vibe and a low rate of severe violent incidents. The biggest exposure people mention is usually small-time theft, like pickpocketing or a quick grab of a bag, especially in busy places such as the ferry docks or the central market.

Safety tips: Keep your valuables out of sight, and fasten your daypack when you squeeze through narrow market stalls. Also watch your belongings when you are on local buses, including the ones arriving from La Paz or Peru. It also helps to stay away from walking by yourself along the dark shoreline late at night.
