Adventure Brew Hostel

★ 4.4$10-30 — $13-38Budget

Popular backpacker hostel in La Paz with on-site microbrewery, social events, and knowledgeable staff. Comfortable dorms, good breakfast, and perfect for meeting other travelers.

Adventure Brew Hostel is a well-established backpacker property at Avenida Montes 533 in central La Paz, positioned near the city's main bus terminal district and providing easy access to long-distance transport connections. The hostel distinguishes itself from competitors with an on-site microbrewery that produces a rotating selection of craft beers brewed on the premises—a genuine rarity among budget accommodation in Bolivia. Free breakfast is included with all room types, providing a filling start to the day before excursions into the city or onward travel by bus or cable car. Despite the social atmosphere and bar facilities, Adventure Brew is widely considered a more relaxed alternative to La Paz's loudest party hostels. The property includes a rooftop terrace with views across La Paz's dramatic landscape of brick buildings, church towers, and the Andean peaks rising beyond the city's bowl-shaped valley. A swimming pool, bar area, and pool table provide recreation within the hostel, while personal lockers in all dormitory rooms ensure secure storage for valuables. Room types range from standard dormitory beds in shared configurations to private rooms for travelers seeking more space and privacy. Reliable WiFi covers the main social areas and most room categories. The tour desk is staffed by experienced operators with strong expertise in organizing Death Road cycling trips on the Yungas Road—one of Bolivia's most popular adventure activities—as well as jungle excursions to the Bolivian Amazon and multi-day salt flat tours from Uyuni. Staff are well-regarded among travelers for providing current, practical advice about navigating Bolivia's transport system and planning multi-stop itineraries. The location on Avenida Montes connects the property directly to the main bus terminal, simplifying connections to Oruro, Potosí, Cochabamba, and international routes toward Puno and Cusco in Peru.
