Travelero Hostel — Hotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra

Great place to stay. I stayed over 7 weeks and have been travelling Latin America for over a year.

Highlights:

Air-conditioned rooms.

Comfortable, long dorm beds with privacy curtains.

Good showers.

Good size swimming pool. Well maintained.

Good breakfast — Esteban often cooks eggs fresh for guests.

Good kitchen.

Staff available 24/7 — most speak English, and Esteban speaks several other languages.

Area for remote working with reliable Wi-Fi.

TV with Netflix.

Barbecue.

Two hammocks. More planned.

Hostel-run tours — highlights include walking street market tour, Cataratas El Jardín de las Delicias waterfall, Amboró Park, and sandboarding at Lomas de Arena.

Spanish lessons.

Located in a safe, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the city center.

Super close:

Two dance studios right next door — fun spots to learn, meet locals, and enjoy yourself.

Restaurants and cafes:

Canelita Café Bistro — great pancakes.

Siipi Palacio — vegetarian lunch menu (best between 12:00–13:00). Super cheap where locals eat.

A 24-hour supermarket with good vegetarian options. Other supermarkets and Los Pozos market can be a bit cheapr.

Highly recommended: Biocentro Güembé Mariposario — a butterfly and nature resort. Entry is half-price (75 Bs) from 15:00, closes at 18:30.

Lastly remember to bring cash for the Bolivian blue dollar rate. You can change USD (preferred), euros and Brazilian cash on the street in...

Really nice hot showers and they had curtains at your dorm bed for privacy as well as a private lamp and charging space. Def...
