Best weather in the country
Con
I don't speak Spanish, so the language barrier is a personal con for me, but that comes with the territory of course!
In a nutshell
The Gem of the Andes Mountains
chancay Says: It´s a artificial sea more or less 20 km far from Cochabamba on the old route to Santa Cruz. Here you find some nice restaurants to eat fresh fish (trucha, pejerrey for example) and as well you find some adeventure posibilities on and around the sea like going out by boat,...
darthmilmo Says: Before you leave Cochabamba, don't forget to visit the elegant Palacio de Portales. The grounds are amazing, as well as its luxurious interior. Most of its decorative materials were brought from Spain. The architects and workers themselves came from Italy.
Mr. Falafel: Mr. Falafel - Don't Miss it
gringoman Says: it's the first falafel shop in Bolivia Mr. Falafel offers delicious falafels with the atmosphere of the Middle EastThe place is run by a nice man named Jorge and his wife.realy liked the food there, Healthy, satisfying and inexpensive I most like the Falafel in a pita bread...
Las Castores: the best saltena in town!!
JimmyShowtime Says: Las Castores has the best saltenas in Bolivia hands down. This is coming from a person with Bolivian Heritage who has been eating Saltena's since I was 2. They have two locations. One on Avenida Pando, two blocks north of the Recolleta.The other in El Prado. They offer many...
Churrasqueria Tunari (Recolleta): Best Steak in Town!
JimmyShowtime Says: There are many steak houses here in Cochabamba including three of the biggest right next to each other! One of those three is the best and guess what? It's the one in the middle.. It's Tunari.. They have the best Filete de Lomo (tenderloin) in town .. It ranks in the top 5...
JimmyShowtime Says: Entry is 30bs, men and women on Friday.Entry on Sat night is 40bs for men, and 30 for women. Drinks are tallied up on a drink card and presented at the end of the night. Also the entry fee is tallied up at the end with your drinks. This place cost more to drink than most...
JimmyShowtime Says: What a weird place. I had no idea what these bingo halls are about. The games are very confusing, and they are not like automated slots in US where you line up numbers or symbols to get a payday. They are like lottery balls mixed with tic tac toe, and Bingo. I decided to...
La Pimienta Verde: Best Club in Town
paddyk7 Says: Why Lonely Planet's SA on a Shoestring doesn't mention this place, I'll never know.Easily the best club I've been to in Cocha. It's always packed full of locals and many gringos on Friday and Saturday nights (and often on Thursdays too). Great place to dance the night away.
chancay Says: to go around in bolivian towns you have to use these beautiful old busses which are crowding the streets the whole day. It´s very cheap and always fascinating.This is a picture taken in Cochabamba, near to the terminal of busses.
chancay Says: In Cochabamba as an every other town in Bolivia you can find a lot of taxis, funny thing is that still a lot have got at least all the instruments on the right side because the cars are bought from Japan passing the free trade zone in the north of Chile. It´s quite expensive...
paddyk7 Says: As a westerner, if you're planning on getting cheap designer clothes in Cocha, forget about it. Expect to pay at least 250Bs. up to 500Bs. for a pair of jeans. Granted, 25 euro sounds like a bargain, but when you consider food costs ten times less than it does at home while...
The Spitting Llama: Books & Gear
TheSpittingLlama Says: The Spitting Llama is Bolivia´s only foreign language bookstore specializing in English, German, Quechua, French, Italian and more. They also distribute Lonely Planet Guidebooks. The store has a wide range of camping gear from backpacks and tents to leather hiking boots and...
JimmyShowtime Says: ahh beer... the fermented yeast that we all love to have. OK, in Bolivia you got two choices... Pilsners or some Weird Thick tasting stuff called El Inca, that tastes a bit Stout-e but has 3.5 percent alcohol. boo!!!! OK so beer here is all Pilsner, which sucks.. I am an IPA...
JimmyShowtime Says: Around the time of carnival, just after New Years kids here in Bolivia like to ride around in cars and chuck water balloons at people on the street. This inconsiderate bastards target tourists, gringo's, and women. My tip to you is to walk contra route so you can see the...
JimmyShowtime Says: You can use US bank cards here and get either bolivanos or USD. Now I would recommend using a Debit card since you will not get charged up the ass by using your credit cards which charge 6 to 9 percent per transaction! You will be charged between 1-4 USD per transaction. I...
JimmyShowtime Says: Radio Taxi's are like cabs in the states, you can hail them from the street, but there is no telling if they are in route to somewhere else, i.e no light indicator on the roof. Prices for cab rides varies by driver and cab company. You will get the best prices with the...
Milk in Bags, Fruit and gum that doesn't last
JimmyShowtime Says: OK fellow travelers, you want milk? You will find that it only comes in bags. Two sizes, personal, and 4 tall glasses. Milk here is made by PIL, and they have various flavors to try. I personally use Leche Light (reduced fat milk). It has a good taste. Is it hormone free, I...
