Traveller notes on Copacabana in May
Notes from nearby La Paz (106 km away)
Copacabana doesn't have its own notes for May yet — these are about La Paz, close enough to share the season.
La Paz's forum calls May the start of the dry season — clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine, warm enough to go without a jacket in the sun during the day. Regulars are consistent that the temperature drops sharply the moment the sun sets, and that a proper fleece or medium-weight jacket is essential for the night regardless of how warm the afternoon felt.
