Accommodation
It is important to arrive in La Paz as early as possible in the day as accommodation, particularly at the cheaper end of the market, can be hard to find.
HOTELS: Bolivia has several deluxe and first-class hotels. Service charges and taxes amounting to 25-27 per cent are added to bills. Rates are for room only, except where otherwise indicated. There is a wide range of middle-range hotel accommodation available, generally of good value. For details contact la Cámara Departmental de Hotelería (the Bolivian Chamber of Hotel Management), Calle Panamá, esquina Plaza Uyuni, edificio Shoppig Miraflores, 3°, oficina 303, La Paz (tel: (2) 222 2618; tel/fax: (2) 222 6290; e-mail: cama@megalink.com).
GUEST-HOUSES: Several pensions in La Paz, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz provide visitors with reasonable comfort at a reasonable price.
CAMPING AND CARAVANNING: There are few camping areas anywhere in South America. However, adventurous travellers may often find adequate lodging for the small fee usually charged at most US or European campsites. Despite no formal organisation or marked zones, camping is possible in Bolivia. Mallasa, Valencia and Palca in the river gorge below the suburb of La Florida are recommended, also Chinguihue, 10km (6 miles) from the city. For details contact the Viceministerio de Turismo (see Contact Addresses section).
