Hostelling Information

Hostelling in Bolivia

Hike along ancient Inca routes; visit the extraordinary landscape of eerie saltpans; see jaguar, rare spectacled bear and llama in the wild; mingle with bowler–hatted women traders in the highest capital city in the world; drink chicha (industrial–strength maize liquor). Vast and varied, this isolated, undervisited country boasts Amazonian rainforest, staggering Andean scenery, the remains of mysterious lost civilisations, and a rich indigenous culture. The west offers the clear, azure waters of sacred Lake Titcaca. Nearby, the colourful capital La Paz is set against the famous peak of Mount Illimani - while the slopes of Chacaltaya just beyond the city present the world's highest ski run. To the south west, Salar di Uyini was once part of a prehistoric salt lake. To the south, Potosi is the site of great silver mines and contains remains of much grandeur and wealth, while the buzzing city of Tupiza is located in an astonishing desert area. Bolivia's hostels are convenient gateways for exploring this vibrant, intriguing nation.
