What should I know about Bolivia?
Located in the centre of South America, the ethnically diverse country of Bolivia is equally varied in its geography, from the peaks of the Andes in the west, to the lowlands of the Amazon Basin in the east. The landlocked country is bordered by Brazil to the north and east, by Paraguay to the southeast, by Argentina to the south, by Chile to the southwest, and Peru to the northwest. Boliviaâs Incan past is well preserved and remains a core part of its culture, and especially its incredible landscapes.
Why should I choose Bolivia for my adventure?
The endless Andes
At around 7,000 kilometers long, stretching along the western edges of South America, the Andes mountain chain is the longest range in the world. And Bolivia offers some of the highest and most dramatic peaks along the Andes.
Cities on the earthâs ceiling
Bolivians know how to live the high life, with many urban areas spread out across the Altiplano. The city of El Alto is the highest on earth at 4,150 meters. And the city of La Paz, at 3,650 meters, is the highest capital city in the world.
Rich, deep-rooted culture
With a wide-ranging blend of tradition and customs emanating from ancient indigenous communities, Spanish colonists, and high Andean influences, the culture of Bolivia is packed full of interesting aspects to explore and understand.
What can I expect from the weather in Bolivia?
There are primarily two seasons in Bolivia, the dry winter season, which runs from May to October, and the wet summer season, which runs from November to April. Although the summer months are warm during the day, night temperatures can drop to around -20 â.
Which language is predominantly spoken in Bolivia?
There are 37 official languages, most of them indigenous, with Spanish being the most predominant.
What currency is accepted in Bolivia?
Boliviano.
How can I get to Bolivia?
The busiest international airport in Bolivia is the Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. If youâre coming from South America, North America or Europe, itâs highly likely that youâll pass through this airport, before flying to El Alto airport, which is also 13 kilometers west of La Paz.

If youâre coming to Bolivia for mountain climbing, then the best time to visit is from June to August. If youâre coming to ski or snowboard, then fresh powder is deepest around the month of July.
My guide worked really hard to make it a good trip.đ

We were very happy with the beauty and challenge we found on this trek. We were also pleasantly surprised by some of the more luxurious aspects of it: we had the option to sleep indoors most nights, we had hot lunch served to us riverside one day and were served dinner and breakfast every day, and a car transported equipment we did not need during the day to our next base camp. Our guide, Abraham, was experienced in our route and very knowledgeable. We got food poisoning symptoms pretty badly after three days and had to cut our trip short. Abraham and Dennis were able to get us back to La Paz as soon as we were ready to leave. While we had a great experience in the end, a couple aspects did not match what we were told to expect and made us nervous in the beginning. The TripAdvisor post lists Jaime as the guide and he is who we talked to about details all the way up to when we were picked up. However he never made an appearance and we were never told this would happen or why it happened. We had also requested two sleeping bags each, in case it was too cold, and that information was not passed on correctly. It seemed like our guide thought we were bringing our own sleeping bags, although that was not said not on the packing list. Luckily they still had one sleeping bag for each of us and it was plenty warm. Lastly, it seems the itinerary is subject to change, so donât count on doing the exact plan sent to you. We were originally told there would be no huts and that we would only stay in Tuni the first night and neither of these turned out to be true. Again, everything worked out in the end, but allowing someone to take you into the wild and handle preparations takes a lot of trust and these miscommunications hampered our ability to fully feel comfortable. I would recommend this company and this trek to anyone interested. I hope the company takes this review as constructive feedback to help make guests feel safe.

Jaime and his family are very amiable and friendly people. The tour was very well organized and everything exceeded my expectations. The food was very delicious and there was always a vegetarian option if necessary. Next time I come to Bolivia I will be sure to book a tour with Jaime again, thank you!

Very nice trip for you. This message is nice for JAIME because the pandemic had to stop tourism, which remains his bread and butter. Indeed, the landscapes are exceptional, sumptuous We went there 3 years ago and were very, very warmly welcomed by JAIME and MARIE-SOL, his wife. Those were unforgettable moments! As you say, Jaime's French is perfect, which greatly facilitated our exchanges.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
