Cochabamba Banner.jpg

 Cochabamba, or simply Cocha is fourth largest city in central Bolivia, in a valley with the same name, in the Andes mountain range. Its name is from a compound of the Quechua words q'ucha, meaning "lake", and pampa, "open plain". It has been known as the "City of Eternal Spring" and "The Garden City" because of its spring-like temperatures all year round. It is commonly called La Llajta, which means "town" in Quechua.

How to work legally in Cochabamba

Volunteer

Some organizations charge a fee for volunteer or intern to cover logistical and organizational costs. Please ask each organization for their policy.

  • Sustainable Bolivia | Calle Julio Arauco Prado 230 between Ave. Heroinas and Calle Sucre Opening Hours: 9AM Monday - 6PM Sustainable Bolivia is an umbrella NGO that matches volunteers with local projects in Cochabamba. They typically have 15-25 volunteers working between the 25-30 local projects at any given time. They rent three houses that volunteers will live in, and also offer homestays. Most volunteers will confirm their projects several weeks before starting, and will commit to at least a month in Cochabamba. That means that their houses are sometimes full, and they cannot provide housing to walk-ins, particularly those who cannot commit to at least a month of time. Grants to organizations are administered by the volunteers themselves, so they know how the money is being used.
  • Instituto para el Desarrollo Humano Humboldt 829 ☎ +591 4 4118315 - An excellent social justice organization which offers volunteers the ability to train and facilitate with required social issues affecting many underrepresented Bolivians. They offer a homestay with safe, respectable families as well as a social network to keep you in the loops of cultural events whilst staying safe.
  • Red Tinku | Plaza 14 de Septiembre (weekdays only) ☎ +591 71769493 - Thit is the only autonomous social center in Bolivia. You can take part in their brigadas (work camps) in rural areas or different kinds of workshops in Cochabamba.

Shopping in Cochabamba

One of the city's biggest attractions is La Cancha the city market on the south side of town and the largest open-air market in South America. Clothing, food, souvenirs, or Books and the Cancha has it all. The Cancha is generally bound in the area bound by: Av. Aroma, Av. Ayacucho, Av. 6 de Agosto, Av. República, and Av. Oquendo.

The best day to visit the market is on Saturday, on other days not all the shops are open. pickpockets are fairly common in this area.

If you don't want to get knee-deep into the sprawling Cancha for your souvenirs and there is also a small pasaje behind the Post Office. You can enter from Av. Heroínas Avenue or Esteban Arze. Prices are comparable to La Cancha and you can pick up typical Cochabamba goods.

  • The Spitting Llama Bookstore & Outfitter, 615 Calle España Norte (between streets La Paz and Reza) offers offers a wide range of trekking, camping equipment and gear. website:

Halal Restaurants

Please be informed that on some destination such as Cochabamba we had no local Muslim/a that has researched some of the area. If you are a Muslim/a and have been to Cochabamba or would like to maintain the eHalal Guide to Cochabamba, please contact us at guides@ehalal.io or email us your updates.

Lunchtime consists of a fixed menu at a number of Halal restaurants or pensiones around time. The "almuerzo completo" consists of soup + main dish and often an appetizer and dessert. There are many options to find the menu displayed outside the door, consisting of your choice of two soups or 2-3 main dishes. This fixed menu varies in price depending on the part of town, and could run between Bs. 15-25.

Silpancho is traditional Bolivian dish that supposedly originates from Cochabamba.

Thanks to the city's origin as an agricultural center for mining communities, Cochabamba claims to have the best food in Bolivia.

  • Casablanca | Calle 25 de Mayo Half a block from Plaza Colon Main courses Bs. 30, pint of organic juice Bs. 9 Very happening place frequented by Bolivians and gringos alike. Large and varied reasonably-priced menu influenced by the Italian owner. Also good for Snacks and a few drinks. Latté is 7B, ceviche 25B, sangria 12B, large servings of Pastas for 28B, sandwiches 16B. Wi-Fi connection, though may be a little slow due to heavy usage by other clients.
  • Cristal | Av. de las Heroinas E-352 Between 25 de Mayo and España

Good breakfasts Bs. 15-21, set lunch Bs. 16. Very neat and clean.

  • Casa de Campo, Av. Uyuni 618, among other upscale restaurants in Recoleta. Large plates of food (even the half-plate was too much) and good pique macho and other local dishes. Price range is 37-50B. Probably one of the best restaurants in town. Highly recommended.
  • Sucremanta, Several locations: Plaza 14 de Septiembre, and on the Prado. Small but filling menu, -somewhat spicey. The Plaza branch, with live piano music on Sundays, is a great place for brunch. Try the hearty menudito.
  • Dumbo, Av. Heroinas E-0354, also El Prado 55. Bolivia's favorite family restaurant. The main joint on Heroinas is always packed, with four dining floors and enough dancers in animal suits to keep the entire juvenile population of Cochabamba entertained.
  • Meihua | Southwest corner of Plaza Colon Opening Hours: Lunch, dinner and in between. The entradas at around Bs. 15 are full meals Standard Chinese. A bit greasy but cheap.
  • Bufalo Rodizio, A Brazilian churasco style restaurant where the waiters comes to your table with a good selection of freshly grilled meats. Delicious. Note that there is only the choice of a buffet style dinner in the evenings, priced at a very reasonable Bs. 85 for all you can eat! The entrance is through the elevator found on the right as you enter the shopping mall. Avenida Oquendo N. 0654
  • Paprika, North American style dishes and internationalized Bolivian classics. Yummy hot wings. The restaurant has the air of a place for the "see and be seens" in Cochabamba. Recommended. Avenida Ramon Rivero, on the junction of Lanza. Open in the evenings.
  • Jacaranda | Tadeo Haenke - Not near the downtown at all, but it has the reputation of best charque joint in town. Some people say that you can't leave Cochabamba without trying the charque, though it does really just taste like fried beef jerky. Charque is llama Meat which is dried and then baked in the oven and then fried for the ultimate crispiness. The half-plate at Jacaranda comes with at least a pound of dried llama jerky, 2 boiled eggs, and the tastiest choclo (oooh the Cheese slab was so thick and crumbly). The half-plate was about a 5-inch high pile, ran 50B and feeds a normal-sized person for lunch and dinner.
  • Zhou | Av. Villarroel esq. Ciclovia - This place was recommended by a couple who'd lived here for 4 years, so I walked out of my way to find this place (fairly far away), and was a tad disappointed. The food here isn't the most authentic Asian either and not even a good P.F. Chang imitation. Needless to say and the couple wasn't Asian either. It's slightly pricey, with sushi (mostly trucha-salmon imported from La Paz. Part of my disappointment was that I couldn't find good cuts of fresh surubi, trout or other river-fish sashimi here in Cochabamba.) running 50Bs. I had a classic soba (30B) but the Noodles looked suspiciously like they came out of a Maruchen ramen Noodles package. And I felt slightly sick after the meal. My conclusion: La Paz has better sushi. Go to Ken-Chan, run by the Japanese society, and you will find excellent, more authentic Japanese food.
  • La Estancia | La Recoleta (Av. Uyuni) Upscale and pleasant Argentinian Steaks place. Portions aren't of the legendary Cochabamba size, but rather of the normal steak-portion size. Word is that the salad bar is amazing. Cut of Chicken breast fillet is about 35Bs and Steaks about 45-50B. You can get those skinny skinny chip-like potato fry crisps here.
  • Buenos Aires: | Ballivian No. 539 (El Prado) - Great airy location right on the Prado, next to Brazilian Coffee, and serves a nice almuerzo complete for 18B (25B on Sunday). Although the food is presented prettily and the quality is más o menos (quantity is certainly menos), but has the advantage of not being greasy and comes with an open salad café. Latté 7B, salads 26B, Steaks (large portions) 30-40B. Accepts VISA.
  • Sole Mio | Av. América N° 826 entre Pando y Mechor Urquidi - An Italian joint, whose specialty is Pizzas from the oven. Gael Garcia Bernal was seen here eating last year when he was filming a movie on location about Cochabamba's water wars. Pizza comes out remarkably fast but the service isn't. It's a nice quality, not as good as in the US but better than Eli's. Pizzas run about 50B for a medium and 40B for a personal, though watch out for overcharging.



Fast Food

  • Eli´s | Corner of Colombia and 25 de Mayo, laso on Av. America Pizza slices Bs. 10-15, sandwiches combos Bs. 20 Inspired by North American joints.
  • Globos | South end of El Prado NE corner of Plaza Colon, also other locations. Scoop Bs. 5, cup Bs. 20. Good icecream, many coffee-drinks, some cakes and burgers.

Vegetarian

  • Tulasi, Av. Heroinas 270, seemingly without regular opening times.
  • Gopal, Calle Espana, Hot and cold Buffet lunch bet. 10-20bs. and the homemade jugs of juice are delicious. Ordering off the menu is feasible in the evening, but not as good. Beautiful open courtyard to sit in.
  • Copal, Calle España 250 (Between Ecuador and Colombia) in the same courtyard as the Hostel Nawpa House

The best chicha, fermented corn (or peach) based beverage, is said to come from the Cochabamba region. The small town of Punata, some distance to the southwest, is especially well-known. Please note that not all chicherías have the same hygienic standards.

Most small bars are on 25 de Mayo and España close to Plaza Colon. Av. Ballivian (Prado) has bigger and noisier stuff. The joints grow fancier and more expensive has you head north into Recoleta, centred on Calle Pando.

  • Cafe Paris | NE corner of Plaza 14 de Septiembre Corner of Bolivar and 25 de Mayo Coffees Bs. 4-17 Parisian style café with both filling and sweet crepes as well as a good Coffee. Very reliable WiFi available too.
  • Cocafe | Calle Venezuela Between España and 25 de Mayo 0,6 l organic juice Bs. 10 Small, cozy, well decorated. Leaves on offer.
  • Cerebrito | Calle España Betwenn Colombia and Ecuador Opening Hours: Evenings 1 l of organic juice Bs. 15 After school hangout for 18-25s. Star Wars decor. Rock music. Cheap dinners. Probably the most colourful range of shots in the nation. Bottoms up!
  • Panchos | Calle Mayor Rocha Between España and 25 de Mayo 1 l organic juice Bs. 15 Starts out as a bar, turns into a club. Mostly latin music.
  • Picasso´s | Calle España Between Equador and Mayro Rocha 1 l organic juice Bs. 15 Nice warm up venue. Tables, bar, play dice.
  • Marka | Calle Ecuador Between España and 25 de Mayo Opening Hours: Until late 0.6 l organic juice Bs. 10 A courtyard with electronic music and a very mixed crowd.
  • Lujos | Calle BeniAlmost on the junction of Santa Cruz Opening Hours: Until sunrise on weekends Entry Bs. 10-15, pint of organic juice Bs. 10 Full dance floor, mostly classics ie. reggaeton.
  • Café Fusión | Calle España between Ecuador and Mayor Rocha - Small, cosy café-bar, with a very friendly Italian owner. Great Muslim Friendly place to start the night. Fruit cocktails 13-25Bs. Fruit Juices 13Bs. Does very good Italian dishes.
  • Pimienta | Av America Between Villarroel and Tarija Opening Hours: Opens around 1AM, runs all night Entry Bs. 20 includes one drink Probably the most popular dance club with westerners, plays a mix of 90's and current hits. Gets full around 2:30AM.
  • Chernobil, Best place to drink Chicha in the Cochabamba region. It is in the town of Quillacollo just west of the city. Well know by the local residents and the chicha is safe to drink and so is the food.

There are dozens and dozens of hotels and hostales between the bus terminal and the center (Plaza 14 de Septiembre).

Stay Safe

  • Cars rarely give preference to pedestrians, even at crosswalks. Don't assume they will stop.
  • Roving gangs of supposed glue sniffers (cleferos) are known to attack and rob people, especially at night. Stay on streets with ample pedestrian traffic. They tend to hang out under the bridges at night and rob people crossing.
  • The hill of the Coronilla (behind the bus terminal) is particularly not safe because thit is where many of them hang around and camp. Generally, anywhere south of Calle Aroma be very cautious.
  • Robbers also operate from cars, particularly cabs, late at night. Stay alert if one stops right in front of you. Cross the street!
  • When getting into a cab late at night, it is best to call a radio taxi which you can get from friends, a local family, or the hostal you are staying at. If you cannot call a radio movil to pick you up, make sure to take a taxi with a company name on the side and remember that company in case anything happens so that you can report it to them. It is best to ask a hotel, restaurant, bar, or discoteca to call a taxi for you.
  • On the stairs of the hill Cerro de San Pedro have been robberies. The cable vehicle provider uses it as an argument for you to use the cable vehicle (Bs. 6.50). However, during the day it should be fine. At dusk and later, take a taxi or the teleferico (cable cars) to/from the top.
  • The plain-clothed police officer scam seems to be popular (but seldom) in Cochabamba. Read all about it under Bolivia#Stay safe and be aware.

Telecommunications in Cochabamba

  • If you have an unlocked phone, you can purchase an affordable SIM card from the three major telecoms, Tigo, Viva, Entel and top up as needed. All of have pre-paid data plans. You must register your SIM card with your passport.
  • There are fewer internet cafés than there were just 3-4 years ago due to the availability of mobile internet. The Punto Entel on the southeast corner of Heroinas and Ayacucho is probably the neatest and best equipped internet spot. The going rate is Bs. 2-3 an hour.
  • Calls to landlines in Europe and North America can be had as low as Bs. 0.50 a minute. Shop around!
  • The internet/callshop at Av. Heroinas E0151 (Near the junction of Ayacucho) is good for Skype.

  • Lavanderia Brilliante | Av Aroma 118 Between Ayachucho and Lopez Opening Hours: 7AM - 10PM Wash and dry Bs. 7/kilo Several others on the same block.

There are some money exchange businesses around the Plaza that are more reliable. Please note that some money changers on the street won't accept bills smaller than US$100 or will want to give you a less favorable exchange for US$20 or less.
  • For visa extensions, head to "Migración" located in the north part of Cochabamba at Av. J. Rodriguez between the streets Santa Cruz y Potosí (near Instituto Americano)

  • Torotoro National Park – Popular with travellers that head to Cochabamba for its dinosaur foot prints, large cave and hiking opportunities. The (mini)buses leave hourly or when full (06:00-18:00, +591 70786818) from the Torotoro Bus "station" in the south of Cochabamba GPS -17.4141308,-66.1512697}}.
  • Iquique, Chile – There are direct buses, some with a transfer in Oruro. Keep in mind that the border to Chile opens at 08:00. So, it makes little sense to leave at 16:00 from Cochabamba. Waiting time at the border can extend this trip up to 23 hr(!). From Iquique you will have several connections to Santiago.
