Tunari National Park

Height: 5035 m. This mountain can be done without a guide, but you need to take care and be aware of water, sun and altitude. It is a 4-hr climb one-way, so you need to start early. First you go to Quillacollo, where you transfer by taxi or other transport towards the mountain and its trailhead. Best ask your hostel or hotel which are the exact buses and destinations. The hotel might also recommend a local guide if you want.

Jacaranda
Not near the city center at all, but it has the reputation of best charque joint in town. Some people say that you can't leave Cochabamba without trying the charque, though it does really just taste like fried beef jerky. Charque is llama meat which is dried, then baked in the oven, then fried for the ultimate crispiness. The half-plate at Jacaranda comes with at least a pound of dried llama jerky, 2 boiled eggs, and the tastiest choclo (oooh the cheese slab was so thick and crumbly).
The half-plate was about a 5-inch high pile, ran Bs. 50 and feeds a normal-sized person for lunch and dinner

The food here isn't authentic Asian. It's slightly pricey, with sushi (mostly trucha-salmon) imported from La Paz.

Parque Mariscal Santa Cruz
Small park with amusement rides, concrete caricatures, and aquarium. May be of particular interest to kids but a bit neglected and dirty at times.

Paprika
North American style dishes and internationalized Bolivian classics. Yummy hot wings. The restaurant has the air of a place for the "see and be seens" in Cochabamba. Recommended. Avenida Ramon Rivero, on the corner of Lanza. Open in the evenings.
