Bolivia Project

During the project, volunteers will stay at a Nazarene retreat center located in Cochabamba. The retreat center is a beautiful setting with lots of flowers and green spaces around the campus.

The dorm rooms are clean with single beds in most rooms. Some rooms will have two beds and will be reserved for couples. Volunteers will need to bring their own bedding and towels. Please note that Cochabamba, while not as high as La Paz, is still located at 8,000 feet, so it can be chilly at night. We would recommend bringing a sleeping bag or at least a warm blanket. A full packing list will be included in the final information packet. A few of the dorm rooms have private bathrooms, but the majority of them share bathrooms located down the hall. The campus has WiFi, but it might not be as fast as you would have at home.

The group will worship in the meeting area of the retreat center and the group will use the large kitchen and dining room for meals. The group will travel to the construction site daily by private bus.

At the end of the project, volunteers will travel to La Paz where they will stay at the Casa Prado Suites Hotel. This colonial-style hotel is located in the downtown area of the city. Volunteers will stay in double occupancy rooms. Bedding and towels are provided, but volunteers may want to bring a washcloth since they are not commonly provided in Bolivia. The rooms have a heater and private bathrooms with hot water. WiFi is available at the hotel.
