財産 — Edificio Saavedra
Edificio Saavedra is a no-frills 3-star hotel in central La Paz, occupying a converted mid-20th-century apartment building. The lobby feels like a quiet, tiled time capsule—clean but unfussy, with a small reception desk and a couple of armchairs under fluorescent light. Its USP is location: steps from the San Francisco church and the main pedestrian street, Calle Sagárnaga, making it ideal for budget-conscious travellers who want to be in the thick of the city without paying for extras they don't need.
La Pazの歴史
La Paz was founded in 1548 by Spanish conquistador Alonso de Mendoza as a commercial stop on the silver route from Potosí. Its colonial core grew around Plaza Murillo, and the city later expanded dramatically into the surrounding canyons, creating the dramatic bowl-like geography seen today. The late 19th and early 20th centuries brought neoclassical buildings and grand boulevards, while the mid-20th-century saw functionalist apartment blocks like Edificio Saavedra. Contemporary La Paz is a brash, energetic blend of Aymara culture, street art, and chaos—a city where cholitas in polleras sell quinoa smoothies alongside mobile phone stalls.

La Paz完全ガイド →最高の月
May and August—dry season, clear skies, and moderate crowds. September is also good, with warmer afternoons and the tail end of the dry season before the rains build.
ピーク/フェスティバル Surge
June through August are peak months, driven by excellent winter weather and holidays. Hotel prices can rise 20–30% from the low season. The Gran Poder festival in June also draws visitors, but July is quieter than August for major events.
予算肩の季節
April and October offer mild weather, lighter crowds, and often lower rates. You'll still get mostly dry days, with occasional afternoon showers.
天気&パッケージ
La Paz sits at 3,640 metres—the sun is fierce and the air thin, so temperatures fluctuate wildly from 3°C at night to 18°C by midday. Pack layers: a warm jacket for mornings and evenings, plus sun protection and a light scarf for the UV index, which can hit 11 even in winter.
LIVE CITY BRIEFING — La Paz
- The Teleférico network now has 10 lines, making cross-city travel faster and cheaper than taxis—buy a reloadable card at any station.
- Calle Jaén, the city's best-preserved colonial street, has reopened after a six-month pavement renovation; the pedestrian cobbles are now more even.
- Expect intermittent protests and street blockades during July, especially around the government district; check local news and allow extra time for airport transfers.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Edificio Saavedra, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on floors 4 or 5, facing the inner courtyard rather than Avenida Saavedra. This avoids the worst traffic noise and gives better daylight. Upper floors also tend to have less footfall from the reception area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 2 directly overlooking Avenida Saavedra — the street is a main artery with buses and taxis running from early morning until late evening. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft on any floor: the lift is older and rattles when in use.
Best views
From upper east-facing rooms you’ll see the cordillera and neighbouring hillsides, especially at sunrise. West-facing rooms (over Avenida Saavedra) give a corridor of city buildings and traffic — not worth the noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are your quietest bet — well above street level and away from lobby comings and goings. The 5th floor is top floor here, so no foot traffic above you.
🔊 Noise notes
Avenida Saavedra is a six-lane road with persistent diesel bus and taxi traffic from 6am to 10pm. There’s also a mini-market and a couple of eateries on the ground floor, so occasional street-level commotion. The lift mechanism is audible in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1) If you arrive by car, know there’s no on-site parking — use the 24-hour public garage half a block south on Calle Chacaltaya; book ahead if possible. 2) The front desk can arrange a room tour within 10 minutes of check-in — ask to see a courtyard room first before accepting an Avenida-facing one.
- 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

La Pazのトップ観光スポット
💡 Go early morning (around 9am) to see stallholders setting up and avoid the midday crowds. Don't touch the fetuses unless invited.
💡 Check the changing of the guard at the palace, usually at 10am and 4pm. Avoid sitting on the grass if you value clean trousers.
💡 The museum is small—allow 45 minutes max. The guided tour in Spanish is worth it if you understand basic Spanish.
💡 Buy a single ticket for the best photo stop at the intermediate station. Ride at 5pm for sunset light over Illimani mountain.
💡 Take the 'Chasquipampa' micro bus from Plaza San Francisco (cheap and direct). Go late afternoon for cooler temperatures and better light. Entry under £2.
