Copacabana Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Copacabana, (ICAO: SLCC)) is an extremely high elevation airport serving Copacabana, a town on Lake Titicaca in the La Paz Department of Bolivia.
Town and airport are on a peninsula connected to Peru, with no land connection with Bolivia. The runway is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of the town, in a dead-end valley that opens onto the lake. There is rising terrain in all quadrants except west-southwest, over the lake.
