Between the stunning landscape and the towering mountains of the Mecapaca Valley, the charming Hotel Andino awaits. Located in the heart of the Mecapaca Valley at an altitude of 2,800 metres above sea level and only a short distance of 28 kilometres from the city of La Paz, this is a great hotel for those arriving into La Paz by air, allowing you to acclimatise to the high altitude of the Bolivian plains. Accommodation in La Paz does not yet include any truly luxurious or boutique options but we offer the most comfortable accommodation possible, at the lowest altitude for your comfort.

weather
In a country as geographically diverse as Bolivia, local weather patterns vary greatly, however for most people the climate is generally cooler than they expect. In the highlands, the dry season is between May and October. In La Paz and Sucre, temperatures during the day are a pleasant 20º C. Uyuni and Potosi however, can be cold in the middle of the day, and temperatures drop below freezing at night. The Amazon average daytime temperature is 30-32º C with tropical rains on a daily basis (which increase in the wet season), while nights can cool down to 20º C.
