Hostal El Cafetal $
(
7193-3979; Miranda s/n; r per person with/without bathroom B$70/50;
) Out of
town by the hospital, this hotel has a lot of potential - with tremendous views, a nice pool
and large grounds. We just wish it were a little better maintained. The rooms with private
baths are worth the price, while those without have soft beds and are slightly unkempt.

; Cuenca s/n; r per person with/without bathroom
B$65/45)
Just up from the plaza, this architecturally impossible building - a hybrid of me-
dieval and Moorish style with turret-like corner rooms - is a solid option for the budget
set. The interior rooms are windowless and dingy, but the rooms with bathroom are spa-
cious, light and breezy, especially on the higher floors. A rooftop terrace adds to the ap-
peal.
HOTEL
Hotel Gloria Coroico $$
(
240-8090;

; d/tr incl breakfast B$388/464;
) At the
bottom of town, this aging resort hotel has a likeable colonial ambience, with its spacious
lounges, high ceilings and grandiose halls. The rooms are cramped and simple, but defin-
itely passable. Make sure you get a room on the pool/valley side, rather than the car-park
side.

La Senda Verde Resort $
(

;
r per person incl breakfast B$120-150;
) This
delightful spot is accessed from the Yolosa-La Paz road, a short walk from town (500m
south of Yolosa). It has a verdant setting on the banks of two rivers and is a great spot to
relax. The duplex
cabañas
are excellent, as is the Tarzan-meet-Jane tree house. This is a
wildlife refuge (

with animals running free. Children under 10 are not allowed
(for their own safety). Overnight visitors get to see the Andean bear, while day visitors
mostly hang out with the 70-plus monkeys that have the run of the place.
