Das Eigentum — los olivos
Hotel Los Olivos is a straightforward 3-star with a quiet courtyard and a small pool, steps from Tarija's main plaza. Its lobby has worn tile floors and a reception desk that smells faintly of floor polish and coffee. No frills, but reliably clean and central—suits budget-conscious travellers who want to walk to restaurants and the old town. The USP is simple: decent beds, hot water, and a location that lets you drop your bag and be at a wine bar in five minutes.
Chroniken von Tarija
Tarija was founded in 1574 by Spanish conquistador Luis de Fuentes y Vargas as a frontier stronghold against the Chiriguano people. The city's colonial core, with its whitewashed houses and iron balconies, developed around the main square, Plaza Luis de Fuentes. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Tarija became Bolivia's wine and single malt whisky capital, thanks to its moderate climate and high-altitude vineyards. Today, it still feels more like an Argentine town than an Andean city, with a relaxed, agricultural rhythm and a growing reputation for gastrotourism.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Tarija-Guide →Die besten Monate
April, May, September: autumn and spring bring dry, sunny days (20–25°C) and fewer tourists than the winter festival season. Ideal for vineyard visits and walking tours.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August is peak, driven by the southern winter holidays and the Fiesta de la Virgen de la Chaguaya (early July). Hotel prices in Tarija can double; Los Olivos often sells out two months ahead. The city fills with Bolivian families and backpackers.
Budget Schulter Saison
October–November: spring, fewer crowds, hotel rates drop 30–40%. Weather is warm but can have brief afternoon showers. Good for bargains if you don't mind a bit of rain.
Wetter & Verpackung
Tarija's altitude (1,854m) means cool nights even in summer; a warm jacket is essential for evenings. Pack layers and a rain shell, and always carry sunscreen—the UV index is high even on cloudy days.

These floors are likely to be less affected by street noise, given the hotel's address on a relatively busy street in Tarija. Avoid rooms near the lift, as the sound of doors opening and closing may be more noticeable on lower floors.
