I have looked everywhere and wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience to myself. I was born in Bolivia and gained my US citizenship. My Bolivian Passport is expired, I have my birth certificate and my US passport says Nationality Bolivia. Do I need a Visa?

Hi

Just back from Bolivia and have a couple of recommendations in Sucre not in the latest LP guide.

1. Stayed at Spanish Friends hostal. B$85 for a large well lit double room with a bathroom next door. The staff were excellent speaking both English and Spanish and also got up early to serve us breakfast when we had a flight. Easily the best value out of the 13 places we stayed in Bolivia. It is located on Calle Padilla between Grau and Dalence

We also ate...

Hello travellers, in particular travellers with children,

We will be in La Paz in a couple of days and wondering if anyone could suggest hostels suitable for a family (our children are 9 and 13) - economical, safe area and, ideally, with a communal area to relax.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello travellers,
2 points -

1) if you are in Potosi or are planning to go, reconsider your plans! The locals advised us this morning that it is likely that from Wednesday 9th October, city-wide protests and blockade will bring the city to a standstill, ie no one can enter or leave, UNTIL THE DAY OF THE ELECTIONS on 20th October. Plans are to be confirmed tomorrow.

2) We were planning to stay in Potosi for a few days as we love it but we now want to leave tomorrow....

Hello travellers,

My family and I (4)I are currently in Salta, North Argentina.
We are trying to plan ahead.... Our final flight is from Lima, in mid-December.

As costs are higher in Chile and everything needs to be multiplied by 4, we are hesitating into travelling to San Pedro before heading to Bolivia or going directly north into Bolivia from Salta.
Should san Pedro and the Atacama not be missed? Can similar landscapes be explored in Bolivia at lower costs?...

How did you get to La paz? From Mexico City or Miami, or Los Angeles?
Fly to Peru and go over land? Seems like a person should visit Bolivia in their life.
This is my very first paragraph as to figure out how to get there.

If you know anything about a visa for a gringo or some other very basic information, please feel free to pipe in.
I just read a post about inspection of yellow fever card, is that true? I had one many years ago, and have no card to prove it. Not...

Hi,

Today I entered Bolivia from Argentina via La Quiaca- Villazon border post. On the argentinian side I get a printed paper stated the exit date and the bolivian side I was told this paper the entry stamp for Bolivia and they do not stamp in the passport anymore. Is this the situation? According to this paper I can stay in Bolivia only 30 days but I will stay for 34 days. What can I do? Renew the stamp? or overstay?

Hi,

I'm a solo traveller currently in Santa Cruz, did some research on the Amboro National Park and am absolutely dying to go! Problem is there is a minimum of two people (2-4) to organise the tour. (Also toying with the Sand dunes but same issue).

Anyone around the Santa Cruz area who would be willing to join up or let me join their group to make it cheaper? I was looking to use nicks adventures for tomorrow 2nd September or day after 3rd September (link below).

I would like to climb the Nevado Sajama and I have crampons but not ice ax.
What do you think I can rent an ice ax in Sajama village for example from accomodation or from anybody?
Before Sajama village I will be Uyuni so it is not possible to rent in other place but Sajama village.
