3 Best Hotels in Rurrenabaque, Side Trips from La Paz

The prime location overlooking the river and the owner's mother's restaurant across the road make this hotel a good option. The rooms are clean, and though the mattresses are a bit thin, all beds have mosquito nets—it is worth confirming this before checking in, because the big brick arch windows are covered only by mesh and won't keep 100% of the bugs out. There are plenty of private, en-suite rooms, but if you're on a budget, you can opt for one of the shared rooms.

Central and comfortable, Pahuichi offers spacious rooms at an excellent price. Recently refurbished, it feels a little better than most options in town, and even has working electric showers. Try to get a room on one of the higher floors to get a taste of the cooling breeze.

Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, Hotel Oriental is clean and comfortable and, crucially, has ceiling fans that keep the worst of the nighttime heat and mosquitoes at bay. The central garden, liberally decorated with hammocks, is a big plus, and the Wi-Fi is decent in the common areas.
