This seems like a long shot, but I thought Thorn Tree might be my best chance...

I'm looking for a sports/outdoors photographer who can work for a day in/near the Cordillera Real (flexible, but needs to be mountains!) any time between Oct 12-Nov 5. You'll be shooting a mountain runner (me!) for use on web and print by sponsors, outdoor mags, and PR. If there are any pro photogs in the area, or even amateur photographers passing through Bolivia with their kit, hopefully it...

Hey guys :)

Me and my friend we are studying tourism and we have to do a project which is to create a new travel.
So our idea is to combine travelling through Bolivia and learning spanish.

So know we would like to know if someone of you would be interested in doing such a group travel if it would be existing?

Here some facts about our fictional tour:
- Bolivia (seeing the highlights)
- guided group travel of around 10 people
- 21 days (3 weeks)...

March 13 to April 26. Backpackers on a budget. In our 50s. Avid hikers.

We arrived a day later than expected (after a cancelled flight and a night in Mexico City), early in the morning in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Most ATMs at the airport would not give us money but finally one did. Luckily the rest of our trip we did not have that problem. We took an airport taxi to our hotel downtown (70 Bs). It was only 6 am when we got dropped off at Residencial Ikandire II. A Mennonite family was...

Just throwing a bottle here : is there any people (ideally two) wanting to team up for a climb of a peak in the cordillera real range ? I was thinking Potosi as it is the easiest, technically speaking. I have a bit of mountaineering experience, max PD+ (so nothing too hard) and I'd like to go climbing on my own with other people of such or greater experience, without tour or guides. I'll be on the cordillera real traverse for 10 days between 13 and 25 of september - roughly. After...

I will be solo travelling in Bolivia in September (2018) and plan to be in Tupiza (South of Uyuni) around 13-16 September (I may be a bit flexible regarding the dates). I am 29 years old, French, and speak fluent English and a bit of (limited) Spanish.

I am looking for people to share the costs and fun of a Salar Uyuni + Sud Lipez + Volcano ascent tour, preferably from Tupiza. Most agencies have regular 5-day tours from Tupiza including the ascent of either Licancabur, Uturuncu, or...

I visited Bolivia for 16 days in July-August 2018. I entered Bolivia from Peru (Puno) and exited to Chile (San Pedro de Atacama). I stayed overnight in Bolivia in Copacabana, La Paz, Oruro, Potosí, Sucre and Uyuni. Essentially my travels were confined to the Bolivian Antiplano (the [approximately] 35% of Bolivia that lies in the Andes).

The following are some thoughts on my stay which I hope might be of value to others planning a visit to Bolivia.

The highlight of my visit...

I'm planning on buying a large Wiphala flag this sunday at the El Alto Market for my uni room next year. Was wondering if anyone knows how much they cost so therefore how much I should budget for it?

On Thursday we will arrive in La Paz and we'll be going to the mountains after a few days. The first 2.5 days we'll be based in La Paz would like to make some day hikes from there to acclimatize (1 short one (3 hours) for the first day and 2 5-6 hour hikes for the other 2 days). I find it quite hard to find hikes that are not too far our of the city and are a bit longer than just 2 hours (I found for instance that in Valle de la Luna you can typically make hikes of 1-2 hours). Could...

I had previously gone to Cochabamba and I purchased a flight for around $800 from JFK. The total trip time was around 25 hours with an 8 hour delay in Santa Cruz. I am going back to Cochabamba next month.

I was curious if anyone else has done this before: I was looking at flights from JFK to Cochabamba. If you purchase the ticket on one of the websites like expedia or Kayak its like a 24-30 hour flight with an 8 hour layover in Santa Cruz. However, if you purchase a single ticket...
