The 13 best churches in Cochabamba

Gorgeous buildings in serenely beautiful grounds. Everything is kept immaculately by a team of gardeners. There are signs telling you which tree it is in front of you. Wander along the gravel paths and relax on a bench or at the cafe at the rear. The main house and other ancillary buildings all have unique styles but somehow they blend beautifully. Be sure to look up to note patterns on the eaves of the main house. Not sure when the tours start as there wasn't one when I visited.

Beautiful place, the guided visit was great and loved the photo exposition.

Impressively decorated mansion with classical and Renaissance influences. The garden is beautiful and peaceful too

The palace and gardens are beautiful and well worth a trip. It's an easy walk from the centre of Cochabamba. 25 bolivianos for a tour inside the palace, which is only in Spanish. It would be great if it was also in English.

The castle, the museum and the garden are worth it! But the little tea shop Isn’t that’s the only reason I’m Giving it a 4 stars. But we enjoyed the tour our tour guide was super knowledgeable and can’t believe no one has lived in this castle. We did have to wait for an hour for the next tour so try to arrive 10-15 mins early prior to the hour mark.

Great place to take some photos outside and to get to know the history of Patiño and his family. You have to pay to have a guide explaining and schedule the session some time before the visit. It is worth the time. Recomend

Beautiful place, they have a restaurant that serves good food, the tour is good. I recommend if you want good pictures with the family.

got to love the art here, it's love of art and not the peganism art that's mis-construd as why not visit, do visit great ceiling paintings (restored)

Beautiful square and church. When i lived there Evo Morales used to have rallies on Saturdays.

old and fading away.cochabamba's metropolitan cathedral

a central spot to begin you visit in Cochabamba, although not open 24 x 7; the sites in the neighborhood are interesting enough

The heart of my hometown

Historic place.

Ok

Amazing Museum! If you go here you can get a clear glimpse of what the life looked like here in cochabamba, I had no idea that this Valley was habitable 3000 years ago... Having different cultures and traditions, different animals and different fossils that you can even find if you just go to the mountain having displayed here for everyone to an actual fair cultural price, there is gems in this museum that great museum's in other parts of the world would crave to have. But I will not give 5 stars, there is a few problems like they don't accept other forms of currency besides cash i tried to pay by qr code and in 2025 i believe is sacrilegious not update to different payment methods, the roof needs a little bit of cleaning the place was before an old bank, they did a great job making the route but there a lack of good illumination and a sense of heavy air because the lack of any sort of A.C (third world i guess?) but i am just being picky about it. I would be great if the staff would be more willing to guide you through the route giving you some extra details, unfortunately they asked if I had any question before leaving the place, they have a amazing collection of musical instruments there and a rare collection of Bolivian music from the past. Overall a great museum with a lot to analyze

It's a small museum. You must have some cash to buy tickets in the entrance they don't have any change to give you. But to walk around and see interest ancient objects were interesting to understand the local place.

Great small museum, would totally recommend.

(Translated by Google) Anyone would say that the place is small, but definitely with Don René's patience and dedication to explaining, one could take the whole morning or an afternoon to walk through each of the hallways. So full of history and culture from prehistory to contemporary times. The ideal is to take your time and feel like a child and be curious about everything you see. With objects rich in history which give us a look at the past and allow us to interpret how to date there are practices that adapted to colonization and contemporary times. Recommended (Original) Cualquiera dijera que el lugar es pequeño, pero definitivamente con la paciencia y la dedicación de don René para explicar, uno podría tomarse toda la mañana o una tarde para recorrer cada uno de los pasillos Tan llenos de historia y cultura desde la prehistoria hasta tiempo contemporáneo. Lo ideal es tomarse el tiempo y sentirse como un niño y tener curiosidad por cada cosa que ve. Con objeto con ricos en historia los cuales nos dan un vistazo al pasado y nos permiten interpretar como a la fecha hay practicas que se adaptaron a la colonización y los tiempos contemporáneo Recomendado

(Translated by Google) The museum was closing before 4 p.m. A man shouted this to me from the back. The people who run the museum were very rude and unfriendly. If they want to improve tourism in Cochabamba, they should improve their service and change their hours on Google Maps, since it says "open," when it isn't. (Original) El museo estaba por cerrar antes de las 4 pm. Un señor me lo dijo gritando desde el fondo. Muy poco educados y amables las personas que atienden el lugar. Si se quiere mejorar el turismo en Cochabamba deberían mejorar su atención y modificar su horario en Google maps, ya que dice abierto cuando no es cierto.

Oración dedicatoria por el Profeta Gordon B. Hinckley. (en inglés) O God, our Eternal Father, Thou great Judge of the nations, we come unto Thee in solemn prayer. Our hearts are filled with thanksgiving on this historic day when we meet to dedicate this Thy holy house in Bolivia. How thankful we are for it. It is the fulfillment of our dreams, our hopes, our prayers, our faith. Father, it is beautiful to look upon. Its purposes are profound in their meaning. Here the higher ordinances of the gospel will be administered. Here the fulness of the priesthood will be exercised. In this sacred edifice, as well as in other temples, will be carried forward a work unequaled in all the earth in behalf of those of Thy children who have lived and passed on to immortality. How wondrous are Thy works. How great Thy plan, O God. It is all possible because of the gift of Thy Son, who gave His life in an atoning sacrifice in behalf of all who have walked or will yet walk the earth. And now in the authority of the Holy Priesthood in us vested and in the name of Thine Only Begotten Son, we consecrate and dedicate to Thee and to Him this the Cochabamba Bolivia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints together with its associated structures. This temple is Thy house, the House of the Lord. It is our gift, dear Father. We present it with love for Thee and for Thy divine Son. Please accept of it and cause that Thy Holy Spirit may dwell here and be felt by all who come within these walls. Father, we dedicate the beautiful grounds on which this complex stands. May they ever speak of the wonders of Thy creation. We dedicate the footings, the foundation, the walls and windows, the roof and the figure of Moroni atop the steeple. We dedicate the Baptistry, the halls and offices, the endowment rooms, the celestial room, and the sealing rooms with their sacred altars. May this temple, together with its auxiliary structures, all be combined into a sacred complex built to assist the on-rolling of Thy work in this great nation of Bolivia. This nation is named for Simón Bolívar, the great liberator of much of South America, who died the year Thy Restored Church was organized. May the incomparable principle of democracy be preserved forever in this republic. Bless the land and its people. May Thy work grow and prosper in this area of Thy vineyard. We remember before Thee the sons and daughters of Father Lehi. Wilt Thou keep Thine ancient promises in their behalf. Lift from their shoulders the burdens of poverty and cause the shackles of darkness to fall from their eyes. May they rise to the glories of the past. May they recognize their Redeemer and be faithful and true Saints of the Most High. May they seek learning out of the best books (see D&C; 88:118). May the enlightenment of education bring new and wonderful opportunities into their lives. May all who look upon Thy house do so with respect. May it be regarded as a sanctified and holy structure. May it never be defiled by unclean and mischievous hands. Bless all who use it that they may be worthy before Thee. We pray for the temple presidency and for the matron and her associates. We pray for all who will serve here in any capacity as officers, workers, or patrons that this house may be sacred to each. Let Thy Holy Spirit touch the hearts of all who govern in the nations of the earth that they may be hospitable to Thy servants, that Thy work may prosper and Thy sons and daughters everywhere have cause to rejoice in their knowledge of the everlasting gospel. We pray for the faithful tithe payers throughout the world. It is their consecrations which have made this holy temple possible. Bless them as Thou hast promised, and open the windows of heaven and shower down blessings upon them. Now, gracious Father, unto Thee we ascribe the honor and the praise and the glory, now and forevermore, and to Thy Beloved Son, our Redeemer, we lift our voices in love and gratitude as we pray unto Thee this day of dedication in His Holy Name, even that of Jesus Christ, amen.
