Das Eigentum — Alojamiento El remanso
Alojamiento El remanso is a straightforward 3-star hotel a few blocks from Oruro’s main plaza. The lobby feels like a functional transit hub: tired leather sofas, a small reception desk with a TV playing local news, and a water dispenser. It suits budget-conscious travellers who need a clean, no-frills base for a night or two while passing through or catching the Carnaval. No frills, but the beds are firm and the hot water works reliably.
Chroniken von Oruro
Oruro was founded in 1606 as a Spanish mining centre for silver and tin, growing rich on mineral wealth that built its colonial core. The city boomed in the 19th and early 20th centuries as one of Bolivia’s industrial powerhouses, with railways linking it to the Pacific coast. Today, its architecture is a mix of crumbling 19th-century mansions and utilitarian concrete blocks, reflecting a post-mining economic slump. Culturally, Oruro is best known for its February Carnaval, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage event with elaborate devil dances (La Diablada) and folkloric parades. The city remains a gritty, high-altitude hub (3,706 m) for miners, traders, and travellers heading to the Uyuni salt flats.
