Destination: Bolivia

Getting Started

Foreign visitors have only recently begun to discover this intriguing and underrated country, so it's still surprisingly easy to stray from the worn routes. Every corner of Bolivia will overwhelm curious and motivated travelers with cultural and natural beauty, as well as unforgettable experiences and characters to match the classic expectations of those who dream of South America. There are plenty of opportunities for adventure, with a wide variety of luxury levels and travel choices on offer. The going isn't always easy, but the rewards are worth the effort.

DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT...

  • Checking the visa situation - those with Asian passports may be subject to extra hassles here
  • Check Bolivia's travel advisory warnings
  • Proof of vaccination for yellow fever
  • A copy of your travel insurance policy details
  • Your camera, plenty of film and extra camera batteries
  • Binoculars for watching wildlife
  • Sunscreen for crystal-clear skies at 4000m
  • Tampons for periods spent outside the city
  • Photos from home to share with new friends
  • Ear plugs for disco nights you want to sleep through
  • Self-sealing (zip-lock) bags for all your wet, stinky and messy stuff
  • A pack lock or other luggage security for peace of mind
  • Your sense of humor - patience and courage will no doubt be tested by long bus rides
