La propiedad — Outlander
Outlander is a three-star business hotel on Avenida Oquendo, Cochabamba’s main thoroughfare. The lobby feels functional: polished tiles, a reception desk with a computer terminal, a small sitting area with leather sofas. It suits travellers who need a reliable base close to the centre and the bus terminal, not a boutique experience. The USP is location and value – you can walk to the Plaza 14 de Septiembre in ten minutes.
Crónicas de Cochabamba
Cochabamba was founded in 1571 as a Spanish agricultural settlement, growing wheat for the silver mines of Potosí. Its colonial core is built around the Plaza 14 de Septiembre, with a cathedral dating from the early 19th century. The city boomed in the 20th century as a transport and commercial hub, giving it a grid of wide avenues and modern blocks. Today it’s known as the 'City of Eternal Spring' for its mild climate, and is a centre for Bolivia’s food culture and the annual FEXPO trade fair.
El mejor momento para visitar
Guía completa de Cochabamba →Los mejores meses
April, May, September: dry, sunny days, cool nights, and fewer tourists. The landscapes around the Tunari National Park are clear, and the city’s outdoor markets are pleasant.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak season for domestic tourism, driven by school holidays and the Feria de la Virgen del Carmen events in nearby towns. Hotel prices can rise 20-30%. August also sees the FEXPO trade fair, bringing business travellers and pushing up rates.
La temporada del hombro
March and November are good shoulder months: drier than the wettest months, lower occupancy, and discounts of 10-15% on standard rates. November has the added bonus of mild temperatures before the December heat.
Tiempo y embalaje
Cochabamba’s climate is semi-arid with a sharp temperature swing from warm afternoons to cool nights; July can drop to 5°C at night. Pack a fleece or light jacket for evenings and early mornings, plus sunscreen for the strong midday sun.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Outlander, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 through 5 facing Plaza Colón. These floors are high enough to avoid most street-level noise while still offering a clear view of the square and its activity. The plaza-facing side generally gets good natural light and a sense of openness.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 2 (directly above lobby level, often noisier from foot traffic and the reception area) and any room facing the side alley or back street rather than the plaza. These back rooms may have less light and more noise from service deliveries or kitchen exhaust.
Best views
Plaza Colón is a traditional central square with trees, benches, and a statue of the explorer. Rooms facing the square offer a pleasant city view of colonial-style buildings and everyday Bolivian life. The opposite side likely looks onto a narrower street with less character.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 5 are the quietest, as they're above the ground-floor bustle but still within the older building's typical lift range (assuming a 5- or 6-storey structure, common for 3-star hotels in central Cochabamba).
🔊 Noise notes
Plaza Colón is a transportation hub in Cochabamba: taxis, minibuses, and pedestrians create constant low-level noise, especially 7-10am and 5-8pm. Occasional street musicians or political rallies may happen on weekends. Request a room on a higher floor to minimise this.
Insider tips
1. If you have heavy luggage, check if the lift reaches floor 5 — many older 3-star hotels here have lifts that stop at floor 4, leaving a flight of stairs. 2. For breakfast, ask reception about the café on the plaza — sometimes hotel breakfast is served there instead of a cramped dining room, which is nicer.
- 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

Hotel Los Angeles → Cochabamba city centre (Plaza 14 de Septiembre)
💡 Use Radio Taxi Germán (tel. 442 5345) — they’re reliable. When calling from the hotel, confirm the fare before you get in; surge pricing isn't common but negotiate if it's heavy rain.
Av. Capitán Ustariz / Hotel Los Angeles stop (flag down) → Cochabamba city centre (Mercado Central)
💡 Look for 'Sacaba-Cochabamba' painted on the windscreen. Keep coins ready because drivers don't give change. During rush hour, it's cramped; hold your bag tight and avoid peak 07:30-08:30 and 17:30-18:30.
Av. Capitán Ustariz (same stop as micros) → Cochabamba city centre (Av. Heroínas)
💡 Slightly faster than micros but seats fill fast. If you're carrying luggage or a backpack, expect to pay an extra seat. Best for short trips when you're not in a hurry.

💡 Avoid drivers inside the terminal. Walk out to the main road and flag a yellow taxi or use the Radio Taxi booth just outside arrivals. Bargain firmly but politely; 50 BOB is fair for this route.
