Since the elections 21 oct. There were many blockades. Now it is perfect to travel through the whole country. The next election is not until April 2020. Free moving. Come!! Samaipata just 2.5 hours from Santa Cruz is amazing! Dont listen too much to international news.

Dear Fellow-Adventurers,

After many years I will be coming back to Bolivia - my second home - for three weeks.

I would like to know how much I can withdraw at ATMs in Bolivia nowadays (regardless of the currency BS/US).

How much could you withdraw while being there with you VISA / Mastercard?

Someone can comment?

Thank you so much!

October 2-19, 2019. Solo female backpacker in my 50s, mid-range budget.

Part 1
I just returned from a 2.5-week trip to Bolivia. I saw and did everything I planned, and the trip exceeded my expectations. Fortunately, I left the country the day before the presidential elections because there have been road blockades and protests ever since.

Bolivia was quite inexpensive for transportation, food, and lodging. I paid an average of $35/night for very nice hotels in the center...

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my backpacking notes from Bolivia trip from Titikaka late to La Paz, Coroico, and Rurrenebaque.
Even if this trip was done already a few years ago, it can serve as indication of conditions of the roads, guides, accommodation for someone that wants to visit these places.

Hi! I am currently organizing a trip with a few other students from my university who study geology. We plan to be a group of about 10 people and to drive ourselves around the country for two weeks. Our plan so far is to arrive and depart by air from La Paz, and to rent 2 4x4 over there for the duration of our trip.
I am currently in the process of making an itinerary for the trip which will take place in March and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions about the destination I have...

We can still use some volunteers for a eco project, not so far from the city of Cochabamba. Together with the village of Chocaya, some local organizations and volunteers we will restore about 40 hectares of ground. We work with Agroforestry, local trees, water systems and earth restoration. We look for people who can commit themself for at least 2 weeks. This will be mostly in November, December and possibly Januari. We can provide simple housing, but food has to be payed by the volunteers....

Hello. I'm in Santa Cruz right now and having difficulty finding information on accessing the national park--does anyone have experience in the past few years? I was planning to go in by the south, through Florida. What are the closest bus routes? Helpful contacts? Literally any information would help.
Thanks.

P.S. The fires also affect things. I think they've mostly come under control with recent rainfall, but there may still be military in the area.

Is there any easy way of getting from Cochabamba to Salarying De Uyuni? Has anyone done the 3 day tour with starting point in Cochabamba? This is my first time returning home after my parents moved me away when I was 4 years old so I am thrilled to see my country at last! Any and all advice is appreciated.

Hello,
we're planning with a friend a tour to Salar de Uyuni and South Lipez on the 22nd or 23rd of october 2019. We got a nice plan for a private tour from Uyuni, that was recommended by a friend organising vip tours in Bolivia for years. The price is over our reach for a private tour for 880 USD (for the whole 4WD, from 1 to 4 people max, we're two of us, so it exceeds our budget for this, but 220 per pax if you come and join us, would fit in our budget). We...
