Das Eigentum — Querubines
Querubines is a straightforward three-star with a small courtyard and a reception desk that smells faintly of floor polish. The vibe is no-nonsense and functional: clean tiled floors, a breakfast room that doubles as a lounge, and staff who are helpful but not chatty. It suits budget-conscious travellers or couples who want a central, quiet base without any design flourishes.
Chroniken von Tarija
Tarija was founded in 1574 by Spanish captain Luis de Fuentes y Vargas on the Guadalquivir river, becoming a stop on the silver route from Potosí. Its colonial core still has whitewashed adobe houses, wrought-iron balconies and the tall bell towers of the San Roque and San Francisco churches. The city earned the nickname 'Bolivia's Andalusia' for its wine-growing valleys, red-tiled roofs and a languid pace that echoes southern Spain. Today, Tarija mixes its colonial heritage with a lively market culture and a growing reputation as Bolivia's gastronomic and oenological capital.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Tarija-Guide →Die besten Monate
September and October: sunny days, temperatures around 22°C, clear skies and the spring grape harvest begins. Crowds are thin, and the vineyards around the city are at their most photogenic.
Peak / Festival Surge
May for the Fiesta de San Roque, plus the July wine festivals (especially Vendimia in late March/early April). Hotel prices can double and advance booking is essential. Querubines usually sells out three weeks before these events.
Budget Schulter Saison
November and March. November sees the tail of spring with light rain but low rates. March is autumn: temperatures mild, fewer tourists, and discounts of 20-30% on standard rates.
Wetter & Verpackung
Tarija sits at 1,854 metres — you get strong sun during the day but it cools fast after sunset. Pack layers: a light fleece or cardigan for evenings, and a sun hat for daytime. Always bring a reusable water bottle; tap water is not safe to drink, but the city's public fountains are few.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Tarija
- The new bus terminal south of the city centre opened in 2025, replacing the old terminal; from Querubines, allow 20 minutes by taxi (about 15 BOB).

- The annual Feria del Vino y la Singani (wine and singani festival) runs 25-27 July 2026 in the Plaza Luis de Fuentes, with a likely surge in hotel prices that weekend.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Querubines, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the third or fourth floor facing the inner courtyard if available — these are high enough to avoid street-level noise from Calle La Paz, which can get busy with traffic and pedestrian activity, and the courtyard usually offers more quiet.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms at the front of the hotel directly overlooking Calle La Paz, especially on the first or second floor — street noise from vehicles, motorbikes, and early-morning market activity is common. Also skip rooms near the stairwell or lift shaft if the hotel has one; these can pick up clatter from other guests.
Best views
The best view is from rear-facing rooms (likely overlooking Tarija’s hills or nearby rooftops) — but given the address on Calle La Paz, front-facing rooms look onto a busy central street with shops and bars; not scenic but gives a sense of the city. Ask specifically for a courtyard or rear view.
Quietest floors
Third and fourth floors are generally quietest, being above street din and away from the ground-floor reception and any common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Calle La Paz is a main through-road in Tarija’s centre, with motorbikes, buses, and street vendors active from early morning (around 7am) until late evening (10-11pm). Weekend nights may have louder bar noise from nearby venues. Single-glazed windows are possible at this star level.
Insider tips
1) If you’re arriving by car, ask reception for the nearest secure parking — Querubines likely doesn’t have its own lot, but there’s a paid garage a block away on Calle Sucre. 2) Request a top-floor room at booking; lift access may be limited (typical in 3-star Tarija hotels), so lower floors are easier but noisier.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
