La propriété — Hotel Choboreca
Hotel Choboreca is a functional, no-frills 3-star in central Roboré, built around a small courtyard with a pool that’s more decorative than inviting in the dry season. The lobby feels like a provincial bus station lounge: tiled floors, plastic plants, a receptionist who’s seen it all. It’s aimed squarely at overland travellers needing a clean bed and hot shower before heading to the Jesuit Missions or the railway to Brazil. The USP is location — two blocks from the plaza, across from the bus terminal — not luxury.
Chroniques de Robore
Roboré was founded in 1916 as a railway outpost on the line connecting Santa Cruz to the Brazilian border, earning it the nickname 'Puerta de la Frontera'. Its architecture is a low-slung mix of concrete municipal buildings and wooden colonial houses, many repurposed as guesthouses and pizzerias. The town grew slowly as a supply hub for cattle ranchers and rubber tappers, then boomed in the 1990s when the railway was upgraded. Today, Roboré’s identity is split: a dusty frontier town by day, a transit stop for backpackers and the occasional Jesuit Mission tour by night. Local culture revolves around the sale of artisanal cheeses, and the annual Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen (16 July) fills the plaza with music and market stalls.
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Guide complet de Robore →Meilleurs mois
May to September are ideal: bone-dry skies, daytime temps around 28°C, and the dusty roads make the Jesuit Mission sites accessible. Crowds are thin outside school holidays.
Peak / Festival surge
July is peak for the Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen on the 16th, when Roboré fills with Bolivians from nearby towns. Hotel Choboreca doubles its rates (from ~$25 to $50) and books out three weeks ahead. The heat (35°C+) and dust also peak.
La saison des épaules
April and October are the budget sweet spots: the rains have stopped or just started, so rooms are 30% cheaper, and you’ll share the sights with almost no one. Mornings are crisp, afternoons warm.
Météo & Emballage
Roboré sits in the Chiquitano dry forest: expect zero rain in July but dust so fine it gets into everything. Pack a buff or bandana for your face on the missions’ dirt roads, and closed shoes — sandals are useless after the first 50 metres of red soil.
Briefing de la ville — Robore
- The Santa Cruz-Puerto Suárez railway line suspended passenger services in October 2024 for indefinite repairs; check if the freight-only service still stops in Roboré if you’re relying on the train.
- The Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos require a boliviano 10 entry fee per mission (cash only) – no card machines in Roboré’s few ATMs, so bring enough notes from Santa Cruz.
- July 2026’s Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen will have a midnight mass in the plaza followed by till-dawn street food stalls; expect noise from 4am onwards if your room faces the square.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Choboreca, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Rooms on the first floor facing away from Beni street — quieter and with easier access via stairs, as there is no lift. Request a rear-facing room to avoid street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Any room on the ground floor directly facing Beni street — expect traffic noise and less privacy from passers-by. Avoid rooms near the reception or any shared entrance area.
Best views
Limited — look onto the quiet back courtyard or side alley. No elevated views possible given single-floor layout.
Quietest floors
First floor only (no lift, so upper floors are unlikely). Rooms at the back of the building, away from Beni street.
🔊 Noise notes
Beni street is likely a main road in Robore — expect daytime traffic and potential early-morning motorbikes. The single-floor building means all rooms are close to ground-level noise.
Insider tips
Request a first-floor room at the back during booking — the lack of a lift means quieter neighbours above (none) and less foot traffic. Check in early to secure a rear-facing room, as these are limited.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
