The best area to stay in Sorata is right in the town centre, particularly around the Plaza Principal.
This area is the heart of Sorata, with most of the town's facilities concentrated there. You'll find a selection of guesthouses, small restaurants, and shops offering local crafts. The Plaza Principal itself is a pleasant green space, often bustling with local life, and it's where you can arrange transport or find guides for local excursions.
For couples looking for a relaxed mountain retreat, staying near the Plaza Principal is ideal. It offers easy access to gentle walks, such as the path to the Gruta de San Pedro, a cave with an underground lake. You can also enjoy the views of the surrounding mountains, including the majestic Illampu, right from your accommodation or a nearby cafe.
Solo travellers will also find the town centre convenient. It's easy to meet other travellers or locals in the cafes and guesthouses.
