Bolivia, La Paz - Hotel
Hotel Oberland, Malassa, 10km outside of La Paz (Center) is a nice chalet style hotel with restaurant, indoor pool, Sauna and large rooms. Walter Schmidt, the swiss owner, welcomes motorcycle-travellers. Safe motorcycle parking. In off-season, room rates start at 15$.
At 3200m its at the lowest altitude you can get anywhere in La Paz. See www.h-oberland.com Werner |
Camping is about $4 a night. Highly recommended, great area for hiking/scenery.

Hotel Torino
Hotel Torino is just off of a quaint plaza, not far from everything. It is a youth hostel, so quite accomodating and inexpensive. We had to ride the bikes up into the first level behind the doors that lock at night, but it was do-able.

Another youth hostel with decent motorbike parking is the wild rover, it's a bit of a party hostel though so if you want to sleep get a room downstairs. I'm staying here at the moment, it's very clean and I'm paying 50b in a 10 bed dorm.

We stayed at Hotel Oberland. Walter is a biker and a good bloke. A double room is $US68/night and a triple $US78/night. Expensive but we thought it was well worth it. Secure parking for your bikes and space to work on them, great facilities and a 40B taxi ride into the city. The GPS co-ordinates are: South 16 degrees 34.055' West 068 degrees 05.364' :thumbup1:

Update (dec 2017)
Just spent 2 hours checking out hotels. Hotel Torino - no go they did not have parking Hostel Wild-Rover no go as well they told me it was not possible because they had no room in hall. They installed a small desk in hall. Hostel across street from Wild-Rover - no go for big bike because 3 steps high to courtyard and they didnt have a ramp. Bacoo - I meant to reach it but they are located on a street that is pedestrian only(seemed like - damn maps.me) so I gave up as cops were on location. Pirwa - has parking for 2 big bikes - this is where we are staying 210Bob for a private room queen bed but shared bedroom. Wish we had gone there first. Another option - Hotel Davina : they had parking but room was 400Bob - I declined |
