A propriedade — Hotel Pando
Hotel Pando is a no-frills 3-star in La Paz’s central business district, a few blocks from the Murillo Square. Think clean linoleum floors, a small but functional lobby with a receptionist who can book a taxi or a tour, and rooms that are reliably warm thanks to radiators. It suits budget-minded travellers who value location over luxury—backpackers, short-stay business visitors, or anyone needing a quiet base to explore the city’s steep streets.
Crónicas de La Paz
La Paz was founded in 1548 by Spanish conquistador Alonso de Mendoza on the site of a small Inca settlement, chosen for its sheltered valley position. The city’s colonial core, around Plaza Murillo, still holds 17th-century baroque churches and the Palacio Quemado (burned presidential palace), rebuilt after a 1875 fire. In the 20th century, the city expanded dramatically onto the altiplano, creating the sprawling, gravity-defying neighbourhoods of El Alto. Today, La Paz is a vivid, unpolished metropolis where Aymara traditions—markets, cholitas wrestling, ancestral rituals—sit alongside a lively café and arts scene, all framed by the Cordillera Real’s snow-capped peaks.
Melhor época para visitar
Guia completo de La Paz →Melhores meses
May to August: the dry season means clear skies and strong sun (but cold nights), ideal for hiking and city walks; fewer tourists than the Southern Hemisphere summer.
Peak / Festival Surge
July is peak season, driven by the Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen (16 July) in nearby El Alto—a riot of folk dancing and parades. Hotel prices in La Paz can jump 20-30% in late July; book early.
Orçamento da temporada
April and September offer mild, largely dry weather with fewer crowds; hotel rates drop by around 15% compared to July, and you can still enjoy clear mountain views.
Tempo e embalagem
The city’s quirk: the sun is intense at 3,600m but the temperature can swing 20°C in a day—noon sun is hot, evenings near freezing. Pack a sturdy fleece, a waterproof shell, and sunscreen; add a buff for dust and cold mornings.
Livro City Briefing — La Paz
- The Mi Teleférico cable-car system has added a new line (Línea Plateada) connecting El Alto to central La Paz, cutting commute times; it’s now the easiest way to get high-up views without a tour.
- El Alto’s main market, La Feria 16 de Julio, is still closed on Sundays; visitors should plan shopping for Thursdays and Saturdays for the best selection of Andean textiles and alpaca wool goods.
- The city’s new bus rapid transit (BRT) system, ‘PumaKatari’, has expanded routes along the Avenida del Poeta and Sopocachi, but expect delays due to ongoing roadworks near the Cementerio General.
