by chancay If you are a backpacker, there“s one tip I can give you: Go to a market and buy a sack for potatoes or something similar and put your backpack inside. If there“s any risk, these are the thiefs that try to open your backpack. Inside of the potato-sack they can“t see very well where to cut it. Besides it cares your backpack very well while travelling with busses and as well in planes.
Bring warm clothes, especially for the nights in the "altiplano". The streets are not that good at all, so better use sport shoes or good walking shoes ( I think should be normal when travelling around)
nothing special you can“t find in Bolivia as well
already too much foto shops in Bolivia, quality is already good Leave a Comment

Travel as light as possible, especially if going by bus. And one of the most important things every traveler should have in the third world : gifts for the children. You don't need anything fancy. All I carried was a stack of Disneyworld cards and postcards from New Orleans. Some adults will like them also and it makes for a great way to break the ice in remote locations. Leave a Comment

 Doreen loads yet another roll of film. by richiecdisc You can never bring too much film to Bolivia. A polarizer will help you deal with the intense sunlight you will encounter too. Leave a Comment

by Rene_Slot What to take with you depends very much of the season. We ourselves went July, in the winter, the dry season in Bolivia. By day the temperature is comfortable, when walking in the sun (about 20 Celsius). When in the shadow it is immedetiately 4 or 5 degrees colder! We were all day busy putting clothes on and taking them of again. At night temperatures can drop to 10 to 15 degrees below zero (Celsius). So you should bring warm clothing as well as clothing for somewhat warmer weather. Take clothes you can put on in layers.
Bring something to protect your lips, and your skin if you have a sensitive skin. The atmosfeer is generally very dry. Leave a Comment

We couldn't pack too much as we were going trekking later..but clothing is very cheap in Bolivia, so buy when you are here..it also helps the local economy !!
most items seemed available in the many pharmacies
all formats of film/batteries were on sale everywhere Leave a Comment

by K1W1 Tupisa: Bring good comfortable walking shoes/boots as the best way to explore these canyons is by foot. Tours are available but it's not a big distance from the town and as you'll likely have a few days before your transport outta here, why not take your time and enjoy the scenery! Leave a Comment

Most airlines traveling to Bolivia only allow you 2 bags of less than 35 Kilos. American Airlines has a policy of not accepting boxes during the summer and the winter seasons.
If you are going to Santa Cruz get your summer clothes and your bathing wear. Bring hicking shoes and something semmidressy to wear when you go out at night. La Paz is cold all year round, so bring winter clothes. There are wonderful wool clothes to buy in La Paz.
In the country side around Santa Cruz there are mosquitos, so bring your repelent. You can find very good mosquito repelents in any supermarket in Santa Cruz if you don't feel like traveling with it. Leave a Comment
