VISITA NUESTRA PAGINA EN ESPAÑOL
TUPIZA
La
joya bella, the beautiful jewel of Bolívia,
that’s how the locals call their town. One
could say it’s a hidden treasure, for the
charming town of Tupiza is definitely off the
beaten track. With its sunny mediterranean
climate, its friendly people, its folkore and the
unique mountain views you get in its
surroundings, Tupiza is the ideal place to get by
from (or prepare for) the freezing cold nights of
the nearby Salar de Uyuni (salt lakes), or to
make great tours in the spectacular surroundings.
Furthermore, Tupiza is an excellent place to stop
for a while when you're on your way to Argentina
(or vice versa). It’s also the place where
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid used to hide
for the law. Read what Lonely Planetsays about Tupiza at their site.
When
you visit the beautiful town of Tupiza, you're
welcome at
Hostal Valle Hermoso
Hostal
Valle Hermoso is a friendly family hotel. Señor
and señora Llanos run this place with pride and,
whenever possible, their son or one of their
beautiful daughters help at the reception. In the
attached victualler’s shop, you can buy all
kinds of drinks and icecreams. Backpackers are
very welcome at Hostal Valle Hermoso. The rooms
are basic, but clean and tidy. The showers
provide hot running water 24 hours a day. At
Hostal Valle Hermoso, the price per night is only
20 bolivianos (about US $3). More about the
services of Hostal Valle Hermoso and how to make
reservations here.
At
the reception of Hostal Valle Hermoso, one can
get all kinds of arrangements, renting a bicycle,
horseriding are taking a jeep tour. You can also
arrange for trips to the Uyuni salt lakes or to
Argentina. Tickets are available at the
reception. More information about things to do here.
Apart
from the historical buildings and the beautiful
colonial churches, Tupiza has a swimming pool,
sauna, and there are discoteques and karaoke bars
(those are very popular in Bolívia). If
you’re lucky, there will be one of many
traditional festivals. Because Tupiza is still
‘undiscovered’ by the mainstream
tourist, you’ll get a chance to learn about
the real Bolivian culture here. The town lies at
an altitude of 2,950 m (9,680 feet), which means
that the climate is very friendly. The people of
Tupiza are relaxed and easy-going.
Information
about Bolivia and its culture, and everything
you need to know about getting there and about is
to be found at the next pages.

Bolívia here. Don't hesitate to ask me
anything you'd like to know about Tupiza or

Kid - the next time I say, 'Let's go
someplace like Bolivia,' let's go someplace like
Bolivia.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)
