Vibrant capital La Paz is a wonderful place to spend time. With 3.9 inches/10 cm of precipitation due to fall in February, you'll need to pick some places with bad weather activities on offer. You're going to get wet on a visit to the Andes this month, no matter what.
Oruro and Santa Cruz, particularly, will see hotels get booked up and accommodation prices increase dramatically.
Throughout most of the month, it's a good time to enquire about discounts on hotels and tours, although prices in Bolivia are already very low compared to most countries.Īt the end of the month, though, many people, especially Bolivians and those from neighboring South American countries, descend on mass to those Bolivian towns and cities which celebrate carnival. Meanwhile, sunshine still comes down at an average of seven hours per day, making it conducive to get out and about in-between showers! Crowds & Costsįebruary is still very much low season, and crowds, especially international travelers, stay away for the most part because the intense wet weather keeps a lot of destinations either inaccessible or extremely slow-going in the surfeit of mud around right now. By February, while it's still a comparatively wet time of year, precipitation has decreased to lower levels than in any of the past two months. Only November and December see hotter weather on average than February does in this rather large region (the average is 70☏-86☏/21☌-30☌). Santa Cruz is broadly representative of this region as a whole. This is a warm time of year, though (70☏-88☏/21☌-31☌) with temperatures neither too cold nor too hot. Rainfall (9.8 inches/25 cm) is down on January's only slightly, making this the second wettest month of the year in this region and keeping large parts of the rainforest almost impossible to travel through except by boat. RainforestĬobija, in the far north near the Brazilian border, is broadly representative of this region, where it is another incredibly wet month in February. This means it can often feel even colder than it is, which is already quite cold! In other parts of the Andes, Lake Titicaca and Salar de Uyuni are slightly warmer than La Paz at this time on average. This is the second-wettest month of the year in La Paz, after January, and the least sunny on average, with just five average daily hours of sunshine. Minimum temperatures this month are actually at their highest here, but although it doesn't get too freezing, neither does it get too warm: 37☏ (13☌) is as good as it gets, which actually remains the case for quite a large amount of the calendar year hereabouts. La Paz is broadly representative of this region as a whole. There is the high-altitude Andes in the west, with a climate similar to the Andean region of Peru, the lush hot, and humid rainforest in the north, and the savanna region in the south and east, which is largely covered by the Gran Chaco and is predominantly semi-arid with little tree cover. Bolivia, like many South American countries, is divided into several geographical zones, each of which has its own distinct climate.
