Overview
Sorata is a small town in the La Paz Department in the Bolivian Andes, northwest of the city of La Paz and east of Lake Titicaca. It is the seat of the Larecaja Province and the Sorata Municipality.
Description
Knocked back a peg in the early 2000s by social unrest, Sorata is making a slow recovery, and in fact is a bit of a Yungas gem. While it doesn’t have the shiny digs of its arch-nemesis Coroico, this semi-tropical village sitting high above a verdant agricultural valley does offer great weather, access to some of Bolivia’s best treks, kick-ass downhill mountain biking and an atavistic air that may just become intoxicating.
