Oruro Hotels

While many extranjeros pass through Oruro, hotels catering specifically to tourists are hard to find. A large number of hotels and alojamientos of varying quality are clustered around both the bus and train stations and provide adequate places to stay for those arriving late or leaving early—mainly the train-riding crowd. If you intend on staying in Oruro for more than a night, head into the city center, a nicer area where better lodging can be found. Oruru hotels start around $2 per person, but only expect the bare minimum.

During Carnaval in Oruro, hostels and hotels can double or even triple in price. That one weekend in February or March is truly a hotel owners dream, so if you’re planning to visit for the epic fiesta in Oruro, hotels should be reserved a couple weeks in advance. Make sure you also make the booking for the full three days of Carnaval.
