La Paz
The city of contrasts, both geographically and culturally. Topographically, La Paz has a breathtaking setting and views. It is located at the bottom of a majestic three-peaked snow-capped mountain, Illimani, which provides a dramatic backdrop. It belongs to the same scenic group as Rio, Cape Town, San Francisco and Hong Kong.
The multicultural and multiethnic contrast is also fascinating. In no other capital city in Latin America are there so many differences among its inhabitants, from the indigenous to the eastern Bolivian, contrasting in everything from clothing to lifestyle.
In December 2014, La Paz was named one of the “7 New Wonder Cities of the World”.
Like all capital cities of every country, La Paz has spectacular distractions such as the funiculars that surround the city; there are about 5 routes that cover and from where you can see La Paz from the top; it is really incredible.
It also has hotels of great comfort and luxury that will make your visit the dream one. Among the very elegant hotels, we have:
In the southern zone: Casa Grande hotel & Suites, Atix, Mitru, Camino Real, Met and others.
Casa Grande Hotel & Suites are hotels full of charm and details. Met, Atix and Mitru are more modern hotels, perhaps for younger travelers
Suites Camino Real is a more traditional hotel, just as elegant and glamorous.
In the downtown you can mention the hotel Stanum, very modern and at the forefront of technology. One could also mention the legendary Hotel Presidente, which had 5 stars in its time, but then lost interest perhaps because it was located in the center of the city.
Sucre
It is the historic capital of Bolivia. Declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Sucre’s colonial architecture is a reminder of the history, culture and traditions that have thrived in this city and have influenced a wide region of South America. To this day, all buildings in the center of the city are and should be painted white.
Near the city, there are two places worth visiting: Cal Orcko, the largest cliff of fossilized dinosaur footprints in the world, and the town of Tarabuco, the most colorful and authentic native Sunday market in Bolivia.
The constitutional capital of Bolivia does not have a wide variety of hotels; however, we can mention the Parador Santa Maria, a very nice and traditional hotel
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz de la Sierra [Holy Cross of the Mountain Range’), commonly known as Santa Cruz, is the largest city in Bolivia and the capital of the Santa Cruz department.
Santa Cruz is Bolivia’s most populous city, produces nearly 35% of Bolivia’s gross domestic product, and receives over 40% of all foreign direct investment in the country. The city is the most important business center in Bolivia and the country’s principal destination for national and international migrants.
The main principal attractions are; Biocentro Güembé; Samaipata. Catedral de Santa Cruz. Jardin de las Delicias. Kaa-Iya National Park. National Parks.
Among the luxury hotels with great charm are: Marriott Santa Cruz, Swissotel, Cortez, Novotel, Camino Real, Los Tajibos and Alfonsina Boutique Hotel.
Uyuni
One of the most incredible natural phenomena in the world. The largest and highest salt flat in the world. It resembles a stunning, overwhelming and lonely white ocean; bright blue skies contrast with the blinding white salt crust. In the rainy season (December to March) the entire salt flat is covered with a layer of water that provides a surreal visual experience.
Among the hotels, we find three with great charm, made of salt and located in the town of Colchani, on the shores of the Salar: Luna Salada and Palacio de Sal
