Hi there,

Easter week is the most important festival in Bolivia and It commemorates the resurrection of Christ after being crucified three days earlier.

The various churches around the city schedule the masses and services to celebrate the three most important days of Easter, Good Friday through Resurrection Sunday and each also schedules a procession in which a statue of Jesus on the cross is paraded through the neighborhood.

The month of April is traditionally when the event is held and Bolivians take their holidays as well, so book well in advance as hotels are usually full to capacity.

Hope this helps
