10 Things NOT To Do in Bolivia - Part 1

Get more Tips here!

As the most elevated country in the continent, Bolivia offers travelers the most amazing panoramic views from its highest peaks. Definitely DO that. But right now we'll be taking a look at 10 things you should NOT do in Bolivia.

1. Don't Travel Without Toilet Paper
It doesn't matter if you're in a decent hotel, or a fine restaurant. You'll soon realize that toilet paper is a hot commodity in most cities. Also make sure you don't flush the paper, it should always be tossed in the trashcan instead.

2. Don't Enter a Bus Without Saying Hello
The locals will always enter by greeting the rest of the passengers buenos dias” (good day) or “buenas tardes” (good afternoon). Brush up on your Spanish so you can recite the greetings, as well!

3. Don't Explore Without a Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle
When you head outside of the major cities, it's best to travel in a four-wheel drive vehicle. You'll be faced with many sub-par roads, including hazardous highways without shoulders, lack of fencing and barriers.

4. Don't Carry Large Notes
We usually say this so that you don't become the target of a crime. However, in Bolivia, the reason is that a lot of the vendors don't carry change. So if a taxi ride costs you 10 Bs and you hand the driver a 20, good luck getting any change back.

5. Don't Get in a Taxi With No Signage
According to travel advisories, (DOS) crimes that take place in taxi cabs are a huge problem in Bolivia. Many criminals drive around in cars that look like taxis, and once a tourist enters the vehicle, they're mugged of their money and belongings. Take a radio taxi and make sure the vehicle has clear signage with the business name, address, and telephone number on the roof.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of Things NOT To Do in Bolivia!

Avoid This Bolivian Taxi Driver!

LATEST MERCH:
???????? When I order a taxi I don't want much. I don't need a fancy car or even decent music. What I do expect however is that the driver will at least know where he is going! And then not overcharge me at the end of the ride. Unfortunately I met this guy and, well see for yourself...

Bolivie, la route de la mort | Les routes de l'impossible

00:00 Il y a deux mondes en Bolivie. Celui de l'Altiplano, les terres hautes, perchées à plus de 4000 mètres d'altitude. Et celui du bassin amazonien, qui plafonne à quelques centaines de mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Entre les deux, il existe une région de transition, faite de précipices vertigineux et de sentiers qui dévalent la Cordillère Andine en quelques dizaines de kilomètres. C'est la région des Yungas, un pays où l'horizontale n'existe pas.

00:55 Dans la région des Yungas, les hommes préfèrent voler que marcher
03:27 Cette région est partagée entre la cordillère des Andes et les plaines d’Amazonie
06:31 La coca est la plante la plus populaire chez les travailleurs Boliviens voulant combattre la fatigue
10:38 La collecte des mandarines est particulièrement difficile dans la vallée
12:45 C’est grâce au président Evo Morales que les cultivateurs de coca ont pu améliorer leurs situations
18:00 Marco affronte tous les jours les dangers de la route pour donner le meilleur à ses enfants
23:30 Au début du chemin de la mort, les chauffeurs font toujours des offrandes pour les esprits
26:30 Marco entame une plongée vertigineuse vers les vallées de Yungas
31:20 De nombreux touristes empruntent ce chemin mortel à vélos
34:31 Le bétail est le roi des plaines d’Amazonie
45:10 Avant de remonter dans la montagne, il va retrouver sa famille
46:53 Pour les hommes et le bétail le trajet est particulièrement dur
50:18 La vie en Bolivie est très difficile pour les habitants de la région de la Paz

Dans ces vallées serpente une route, seul moyen de communication entre La Paz, capitale administrative du pays, perchée sur l'Altiplano, et les richesses du bassin amazonien. Les Boliviens l'ont surnommée « el camino de la muerte », le chemin de la mort. Point culminant : le col de La Cumbre, 4700 mètres, à la sortie de La Paz. 78 kilomètres plus loin, on est à peine à 900 mètres. Le long de cette route de l'impossible, nous suivons l'histoire d'une communauté de cocaleros, des cultivateurs de cocas accrochés aux pentes de la montagne. Pour passer leurs charges jusqu'à la route, ils ont tendu à travers la vallée des câbles de fortune faits de simples fils de fer. Une tyrolienne infernale, de près de 400 mètres de long, à 200 mètres au-dessus du sol. Nous partageons également le quotidien d'un vachero, un chauffeur routier qui transporte des vaches du bassin amazonien vers La Paz, la métropole la plus haute du monde. 25 heures de trajet sur la route de la mort, effectués sans s'arrêter. Car il faut aller très vite : si une vache meurt, c'est le chauffeur qui paie.

Deadliest Journeys - Bolivia: The Road Of Death

00:00 There are two worlds in Bolivia. That of the Altiplano, the highlands, perched at an altitude of more than 4000 meters. And that of the Amazon basin, which tops out at a few hundred meters above sea level. Between the two, there is a transition region, made of vertiginous precipices and trails that descend the Andean Cordillera in a few tens of kilometers. . It is the region of the Yungas, a country where the horizontal does not exist. In these valleys winds a road, the only means of communication between La Paz, the administrative capital of the country, perched on the Altiplano, and the riches of the Amazon basin. The Bolivians nicknamed it el camino de la muerte, the road to death. Highest point: the La Cumbre pass, 4700 meters, at the exit of La Paz. 78 kilometers further, we are barely 900 meters. Along this road of the impossible, we follow the story of a community of cocaleros, coca growers clinging to the slopes of the mountain. To carry their loads to the road, they stretched makeshift cables made of simple iron wires across the valley. An infernal zip line, nearly 400 meters long, 200 meters above the ground. We also share the daily life of a vachero, a truck driver who transports cows from the Amazon basin to La Paz, the highest metropolis in the world. 25 hours of journey on the road to death, done without stopping. Because you have to go very quickly: if a cow dies, the driver pays.
4:30 Villagers found an outstanding way to travel faster
9:00 Sky cables synonym of death
20:24 A 1000000 km truck that could break at any time
32:09 One slip on the 3m beam and it's a 500m Drop
43:19 Coca, ingredient in strong medicin getting sold in daylight

DON'T get RIPPED OFF at this Bolivian Bus Terminal ????????

The Terminal Bimodal has got to be one of the most hectic places in all of Santa Cruz. The first time you go, you will quickly find yourself overwhelmed by all of the people yelling names of different destinations at you and coming up to you pitching their company’s bus. The first two times Valentine and I went, we were either ripped off or cheated by people who promised us certain seats or amenities but didn't deliver on those promises. Having been pushed into bad deals twice before, this time we came determined to be picky and find a nice bus.

Bolivian Highway - Dangerous

This movie was taken in November of 2008 on a stretch of highway between La Paz, Bolivia and Cochabama, Bolivia. From La Paz to Cochabamba,, Highway 4 is about the last third of the way. It's one of, or the most, dangerous roads in the world. The terrain is treacherous and little concern it taken, by the drivers, to signs or signals that would prevent the almost routine, fatal accidents that occur. The only guard-rails, on this highway, are the almost infinite number of crosses that pay tribute to those that have died there. A large number of the accidents are caused by drunk drivers which, in large part, is still tolerated in Bolivia. While intoxicated, drunk drivers, in general, tend to forget to turn on their headlights. Under these road consitions, you can only imagine the danger involved while driving at night. I made the trip on two different occasions and I'm just happy to be alive!
