Overnight at the airport
The airport terminal is open 24 hours a day, but does not offer lodging facilities. If you have to spend the night on the grounds, there are a few things you can do to make your stay more comfortable, such as bringing a blanket or travel pillow and wearing comfortable, warm clothing.
Where to rest: There are not many comfortable options for resting inside the terminal. You will most likely have to lie down on the floor. If you have the possibility, it is best to stay in an accommodation near the airport. There are several options available, from budget hotels to luxury hotels. Some of them are listed below.
Baggage: The terminal does not offer left-luggage services at this time.
Eating and drinking: The airport cafeteria is only open until noon, so you should have some snacks and drinks ready beforehand.

Tips for a long layover
- Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Bolivia and whether your bags are checked through.
- If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
- A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at ORU.
- Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
- Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from ORU (5 km to Oruro), and check which services run at night.
