LA PAZ

If you stay in the city, you can walk around Sagarnaga Street and visit the WitchesMarket nearby for handicrafts and unusual souvenirs. You can also take tours ofthe old and new city. But remember to watch your belongings at all times.Lake Titicaca was considered sacred by the Incas. Climb the Calvary of Copacabanaand take a boat to the Sun Island. Please note there were a number of “expresskidnappings” on minibuses from Copacabana to La Paz during 2008. “Expresskidnappings” are short-term, opportunistic abductions, aimed at extracting cashfrom the victim’s stolen cash or credit cards. We recommend you book transportto La Paz on tourist buses. “Express kidnappings” have also taken place in taxisin all areas of La Paz, including the Cementerio area.Thinking about biking down the “road of death” in Los Yungas? You should checkout the company, ensure that the bicycles are in good condition, and that theguides are fully equipped with safety equipment and first-aid kits. You shouldalso check any exclusions to your travel insurance policy, to ensure that yourpolicy covers you for all the activities you want to undertake.Thefts have been reported throughout Bolivia including in many areas of La Paz.You should pay attention to your personal safety and to your belongings at alltimes. In addition, the Police have reported that you should be particularly vigilantin the following areas: 1) San Francisco Square; 2) Sagarnaga Street and surroundings;3) Bus terminal to Copacabana (in front of the cemetery); 4) Bus terminal toDesaguadero (in front of the cemetery); 5) La Paz Bus Terminal; 6) Intersectionof Av. Juan Pablo II and Av. La Paz in el Alto (informal terminal of minibuses andtaxis to Desaguadero); and 7) Desaguadero (border point with Peru).Prison tours, particularly in San Pedro prison in La Paz, are widely advertised.These tours are against the prison rules. Bolivian prisons are guarded on the outsideonly - there are no police officers on guard within the prison walls. We adviseagainst going on such tours due to the danger present whilst within the prison.The ancient ruins of Tiawanacu are only a couple of hours away from the city.The Aymara New Year is celebrated there in June. It also has great archeologicalmuseums.

Beware of individuals offering help at taxi points at bus terminals where manythieves work in teams throughout the day and night to distract their victims. 7

ORURO AND COCHABAMBA

Oruro is at its peak for the Carnival season where you can enjoy parades withtypical Bolivian dances. The parade is very impressive. Please note that there’sa higher risk of thefts because it can get very crowded and there’s a lot of alcoholconsumption.

During other times of the year you can visit themines and have underground guided tours.

POTOSI

The Uyuni salt Flat is a must! Tour operatorsoffer multi-day tours around the salt flat andthe green and red lagoon. However, ifyou are in regular contact with friendsand family, keep in mind that thereare limited communicationsavailable.

You can take the opportunity torelax in the thermal springs. However,because of strong undercurrents, werecommend that you follow the local authorities’advice and don’t swim across the springs.

There are lots of museums and attractions in the cityof Potosi. Visit the “Cerro Rico” a silver mine whereyou can have guided tours.

Altitude can affect some people, consider that Bolivia has spots over 4000 m.Take it easy at first

Factor extra time when travelling independently - immigration at overland borderscan take some time. 9

SANTA CRUZ, BENI AND TRINIDAD

The North East side of Bolivia is well known for its tropicalweather and its breathtaking nature. You can hike throughnatural parks (like Madidi), visit the Missions, sail in rivers,relax and have fun in the cities.

Santa Cruz is the largest city in Bolivia and offers you goodfood and night life. It’s also the hub for regional flights fromBolivia. As in all large international cities, violent crime ispresent in Santa Cruz. You should take the appropriatesteps to remain safe.

Weather conditions, like elsewhere in Bolivia, can affectyour ability to travel especially during the rainy season;for example, flights to Rurrenabaque are sometimescancelled or rescheduled and roads can be affected byflooding or landslides.

In the Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos you will find baroquearchitecture and music festivals are held in the region.

CHUQUISACA AND TARIJA

Sucre is the capital city of Chuquisaca, also known as “TheWhite City”. Bolivian history is here, in Sucre. If you wantto go back further in time, you will love the dinosaurtracks.
