I heard heard that travelling in Bolivia is as cheap as chips! I knew I spent a lot in brazil and Argentina, especially in Rio and Buenos Aires; but they are big cities and they cost the equivalent of the UK. However, by the time I got to Chile, I had my currency all mixed up and could not tell you the prize of anything 😉 however, what I did note was the cost of hostels of Bolivia seemed a lot more economical than elsewhere. As such, and due to the fact that I had spent the last six weeks or so in dorms, I decided I was going to be extravagant on my accommodation in Bolivia. As such, all rooms I booked in bolivia were private with an en suite, well a gal has to treat herself. It seems here is where an extra £5 makes all the difference.
Casa La Tronco was highly recommended in Lonely Planet and although there were no singles available (it only has four rooms), I splashed out on a twin room just for me. What a call. For about £20 a night I was treated to the style and hospitality of this gorgeous guest house in the lovely area of recoleta in sucre.
The couple who owned it, along with their son and their dog, had the utmost style and an incredible eye for detail.
Tania, the lady of the house had prepared a hand written guide for visitors, filled with history and really useful information about the city – it was truly special. What’s more, they also wrote my name on the the visitor chalk board…
And if this isn’t enough, they had a delightful balcony which provided gorgeous views of the city.
The only problem I had with Casa la Tronco was that I had only booked two nights here!
