Cochabamba by bus
The terminal is some 10 blocks south of the center, just north of the market called Cancha.
From La Paz, it's seven or eight hours by bus to Cochabamba. Buses leave every hour, 30-60 Bs. A new highway is being constructed, which will reduce travel time by some 3 hours. Boliviar is the best company, with plush cama seats. They leave almost every 1 1/2 hr, beginning at 6:30 a.m. and ending at 11 p.m. The journey is approx 8 hrs, if you take the morning bus, and 7 hrs if you take the night bus. Cost of a ticket for cama for the 6:30 a.m. bus is 50Bs, and I believe the cost for a cama for the night bus is 90 Bs, semi-cama 70Bs, and normal (if you are a luxury-backpacker: not worth it!) 50Bs. Ask if there are any road-blocks, because when I went, there was a road-block an hr away from Cocha due to cocoa-farmer protests and I had to take another mini for 20Bs. The best way to find this out might be to see if other companies are leaving at the same time too.
It's 10 hours by bus from Santa Cruz, 80 Bs.
Night buses to Sucre, 11 bumpy and cold hours, 40 Bs.
