I felt relatively safe in Copacabana. I was there through Bolivia Hop, which was organized and very well-run. I was supposed to stay at Hostal Florencia, however immediately felt the hair rise on my neck when I turned onto the road there. I wandered around and found Hostal Allegre. The hostess speaks English, planned my entire trip, made sure I had breakfast each morning, and even washed and folded my laundry for me! It was about $8 for a single room with a balcony and private bathroom. The food was great at the hostel, too - I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a quieter hostel. I didn’t feel safe in Copacabana, but I never felt explicitly unsafe besides the incident I mentioned earlier. I did feel watched much of the time when I was on the beach, so I didn’t stay there often. Keep your belongings close to your body and don’t flash your money around, and you should be safe. I got by with minimal Spanish - most people had a basic understanding of English.
