The best accommodations Bolivia

Popular with backpackers from all over the world, this friendly establishment is very central and offers beautiful, clean and well-heated rooms. Superb panoramic terrace to see the roofs of the city and the Cerro Rico. The breakfast included in the price is copious and varied. Common kitchen, laundry service. The reception and the service are to be improved, and the maintenance of the establishment is a little neglected. Possibility of organizing visits to the mines, tours to the Salar of Uyuni and other circuits via the travel agency Koala Tours in residence.

In front of the Mercado Central, an establishment with a colonial architecture redone at nine at the end of 2015. The patio looks great. Spartan rooms but correct. Just to help.

The hostel is located in the centre of Sajama National Park, south-west of La Paz. Écolodge has been made by communities investing in the project with regional materials, respecting traditional local architecture. From rooms with toilets, showers and hot water, you will have an extraordinary view of the Sajama volcano. The reception capacity is 25 people. Food served is typical national Andean and international.

Proposed activities. Excursions in the park, wildlife observations, discovery of colonial churches and archaeological sites, visits of geysers and medical hot springs, participation in the community's craft activities.

Local population. The Aymara community of Caripe, consisting of 33 families, manages the tourist activity alone.

A hotel without surprises but clean and friendly. Complete during the carnival, you really need to book in advance.

This popular hotel hotel is located in the Plaza del Estudiante, at the bottom of the central market, behind the church of Jerusalem. Moreover, one of the best interests of this hotel is the view of this church and San Bernardo from the terrace. The rooms are a little decried and the top floor is the best lit during the day. Average home. Agency (Sumaj Tours) on site.

A small, far west hotel complex. Bungalows very well equipped: TV, fireplace, blankets in alpaca wool. In short, it is with great taste that everything has been designed. Guests are very well treated and the bar is always available for those who want to heat "a poquito" through intense cold.

Not far from the Río Río, a friendly and well-kept hotel. Spacious and comfortable rooms (English-style). One of the best addresses of Tarija.

Hotel in the ambiance of the century, with large halls and a large lounge for dinner. The rooms are impeccable and have an undeniable stamp.

Friendly welcome and strategic location only 14 metres from Plaza-de-Septiembre.

Friendly owner (when it is there). Breakfast included in the room price (take those from the bottom of the building). A little impersonal and a little dull, but good, one is happy.

Near Avenida Aroma. A recent, comfortable building with all the comforts of a 2-star hotel. A little impersonal like all new hotels.

The bright tile, the rooms are clean, all with TV.

From the architectural point of view, it has nothing remarkable, although re-renovated. However, the reception is very pleasant and for the price requested, it is an address to remember. The rooms are spread around three small sunny patios (prefer the rooms at the top). It's very clean and for small scholarships, it's a quality/price ratio to take into account.

A small and well-kept colonial hotel, offering several types of rooms for every taste (see several before deciding, some are darker than others). The boss has an excellent general culture on Beni and its history, and will not be avare with information and exchanges in Spanish or English.

Same price as the previous one. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Therefore equivalent to its neighbor but in a different style.

Opposite the Santa Ana hotel and the same rates. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you want to meet the world, it's the appropriate address.

A simple, clean and pleasant address. Excellent welcome from Don Wasmosy and Doña Teresa, a lovely elderly couple.

Less than the first ones, but if there is no room, will we have to do it right?

A number of low and middle-class hotels are located on the plaza. Bamby Hotel, Avenue 6-de, 31 & (3976) 20 15 was recommended. $ 10 per double room.

A small "tiwanaku" fountain welcomes guests and gives the "authentic" and family tone of the square. The rooms are very comfortable and comfortable. Some rooms overlook the lake. Common kitchen. Friendly welcome. A good address for small budgets.

This new hotel, on the beach, with red color and vaguely «gaudiennes» shapes, is one of the last born of Copacabana. All ten houses have views of the lake. They are vast and very well kept. In the small adjoining restaurant, a peña will be created… without disturbing the hosts. A good address (-10 % on presentation of the Petit Smart).

On the road to La Paz, on the left side of the street in the direction of the ruins, it is the sky blue sky in a window. Modest, with seats. The owner manufactures very fine reproductions of the k'erus.

As his name indicates, we have a wonderful view of the mountains and valleys. The rooms without bathroom are simple. The whole is not very well maintained.

Next to Puerta del Sol hostel. A beautiful building with striking windows in the style of the Inca sites. All rooms have a private bathroom (USD 10 per person), but as everywhere in Yumani there are major water supply problems.

More tight budgets will be available at L INKA SAMA, near the Dit LIEU.

Rudimentary rooms along a corridor. Suitable common health. Not expensive.

Very good welcome from Gerald and Nena. Beautiful flowered patio. Simple and fun together. 

In a small passage, facing the wharf. Small basic rooms. Breakfast in the restaurant in addition.

It is possible to stay in the reserve to «La cabaña de alta montaña» with 4 rooms. This cabin is the first point of ascent to the Llicancahur volcano. 

Located in Sandillani in the heart of the Cotapata protected area, the typical rustic-style ecotourism hostel in the region has been built in wood, bamboo and other local materials. It consists of a large cabin that accommodates up to 2 people and cabins with two double rooms and bathroom. The restaurant is based on local food from Chairo and La Paz and brought down to the hostel.

Proposed activities. Several excursions are offered to discover the fauna and flora of the region while admiring the many vestiges of the Inca era. For the same excursion, the maximum group is 15 people. A guide accompanies a group of 12 people, beyond other guides.

Minimizing impact. Garbage is sorted according to their origin. Plastic bottles are made to Chairo for their final recycling.

Local population. The hostel belongs to the Community Ecotourism Association Urpuma consisting of 25 families from the Chairo community. Each family has a representative who participates in turn in the activity according to the theme for which he is qualified. 3 fixed persons and 11 guides work in the company; more people in the same community can be added to carry out the work of porting, additional aid or transport.

Écolodge is located in the southern part of the island of the Sun (Isla del Sol, the largest island in the lake) on Lake Titicaca, close to the Indigène indigenous community of the Estancia. La Estancia Hostel consists of 15 cabins with a total capacity of 33 people.

The catering served is composed of local and international menus. Meals are made up of fish caught in the region and products grown on Altiplano such as corn, quinua, papa, haba or tarwi.

Proposed activities. Hiking, bird sightings and discovery of Inca ruins and Aymar culture (interesting architectural works of the pre-Columbian period).

Minimizing impacts. In order not to affect the environment, Estancia has set up a waste recycling and waste sorting system. Organic solid waste is converted into compost, plastics and (inorganic) boxes are brought to the city of Copacabana and La Paz.

Treatment of residual waters is carried out three times, the last water being used for the gardens. Water is heated with solar energy.

Local population. The Estancia is a project that works only with the community of La Isla del Sol, from which its name originates. In a direct way, the hostel employs 2 people and up to 20 seasonal people, all native of the island and grouped into small businesses that sell their services (water, rental boots for lake excursions, kitchen supplies, etc.). The premises offer visitors the opportunity to discover their crafts and their music. A tax per visitor is paid to the local community.

Youth hostel to avoid at all costs: located next to a discotheque, unpleasant reception, access to random showers, insulation problems, obsolete bedding…

Rurrenabaque, a pleasant town in which to relax in the hotel pool, is also the ideal base for exploring the Bolivian Amazon. Two excursion options are available to visitors: the selva, with a walk through the jungle of Madidi Park, or the pampa, with a boat ride on the water. The two experiences offer different landscapes and wildlife, so 3 days in each is recommended. Activities in the region include a 3-6 day tour of the Amazon, with options for excursions into the jungle of Madidi Park or the pampas. It's important to choose a quality tour agency, as services, accommodation and meals can vary considerably from one to another. It's a good idea to visit your destination to book your tour and compare offers to find the one that suits you best.

The guest house La Selenita offers 4 independent, spacious and soberly decorated cabins as well as a small apartment, located in a pretty garden. Beautiful view of the city and bucolic atmosphere, all this while being only 3 cuadras from Plaza 25 de Mayo!
