Sleeping
Hotels (many shoddy) are springing up like reeds in Copacabana. A host of budget op-
tions abound charging around B$30 per person (significantly more in high season and
festivals), especially along Calle Jáuregui.
Las Olas $$
( 7-250-8668;
www.hostallasolas.com
; Michel Pérez 1-3; s B$210-224, d
B$266-294; )
Creative and stylish with million-dollar vistas, this is a once-in-a-life-
time experience and well worth the splurge. There are kitchens, private terraces with ham-
mocks, and a solar-powered Jacuzzi. Reserve ahead.
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Hotel La Cúpula $$
( 862-2029;
www.hotelcupula.com
;
Michel Pérez 1-3; s/d/ste B$133/210/266; )
An
inviting oasis on the slopes of Cerro Calvario. Rooms are pretty basic (and beds will be
too soft for some), but we love the gardens, hammocks, shared kitchen and friendly atmo-
sphere. The helpful staff speak several languages. Best to reserve ahead.

Hostal Flores del Lago $
( 862-2117;
www.taypibolivia.com
; Jauregui; s/d/tr B$80/120/180; )
Another top-
tier budget buy is this large four-story option on the north side of the harbor. The clean
rooms are slightly damp, but you'll love the views and the friendly lobby area.
Ecolodge del Lago $$
( 862-2500;
www.ecocopacabana.com
; s/d/tr B$180/320/480)
Situated 20
minutes on foot along the Costañera (or a quick taxi ride), this ecofriendly place is right
on the lake in a wonderful natural paradise. Quirky adobe rooms and self-equipped apart-
ments are self-heated thanks to the mud bricks, and have solar-powered water. A garden
of dahlias and gladioli affords great views of the lake.
LODGE
Hostel Leyenda $
( 7-067-4097; hostel.leyenda@gmail.com; cnr Av Busch & Constanera; s/d B$80/120
incl breakfast; )
A solid bet for budgeters, with views of the water, a lush garden and
'Bolivian Boutique' rooms. The corner rooms have lots of space for the same price, and
the top-story suite (also the same price) has a totora raft and its own terrace.
