Frequently asked questions
About Bolivia
Bolivia, located in South America, is known for its diverse landscapes including the Andes Mountains, the Atacama Desert, and the Amazon Basin. The official currency is the Bolivian Boliviano. The country is rich in culture with indigenous influences seen in its music, dance, and art. Visitors can explore the historic cities of La Paz and Sucre, as well as the famous Uyuni Salt Flats. Bolivia is also home to the world's highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca.
When to visit
The best time to visit Bolivia is during the dry season from May to October when the weather is cooler and there is less rainfall. This is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds at popular attractions. The wet season from November to April brings warmer temperatures and more rain, but also lush green landscapes and vibrant festivals.
Getting around
Getting around Bolivia can be done by bus, taxi, or domestic flights. Buses are the most common mode of transportation and connect major cities and towns. Taxis are readily available in urban areas and can be hailed on the street. Domestic flights are a quicker option for long distances, especially to remote regions like the Amazon.
Traveller tips
It is recommended to acclimatize to the high altitude in cities like La Paz and Potosi to avoid altitude sickness. Be cautious of your belongings in crowded areas and use reputable tour operators for excursions. Learn some basic Spanish phases as English may not be widely spoken in rural areas. Try local dishes like salteñas and llama meat for a taste of Bolivian cuisine. Respect the local customs and traditions, especially when visiting indigenous communities.
