Important information about driving

Petr Liška Wrote 27.01.2013:

In Bolivia, you drive to the right. Beware of the roads of death, the rule is the opposite, the one who goes downhill goes to the left.

Petr Liška Wrote 27.01.2013:

Traveling around Bolivia has always been an experience – a bus with a high chassis waded through rivers and often stabbed on sharp stones on roads without asphalt. However, times are changing and asphalt roads in this country are gradually increasing.

International flights

Petr Liška Wrote 27.01.2013:

The main air gateway to Bolivia is the airport in El Alto (4,050 m above sea level) located on the Altiplan directly above La Paz. Due to their high altitude, tourists often have problems with mountain sickness

Domestic flights

Petr Liška Wrote 27.01.2013:

Due to its geographical location and poor or missing roads to distant corners of the country, especially to the Amazon, domestic air transport is very widespread. – Larger regional airports include Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Sucre.- ** National carriers: ** These companies operate mainly domestic flights to the surrounding South American countries: Amaszonas, TAM, EcoJet. Boa

By air from Czech Republic

Petr Liška Wrote 27.01.2013:

There are no direct flights from the Czech Republic to Bolivia. Most flights are via Amsterdam (KLM), Paris (AirFrance) via Lima, Usual ticket prices are around 35 thousand crowns. As many as 20,000 in action, but not many during the year. The journey takes at least about 20 hours. Those who have a lot of time and want to save only fly to Sao Paulo in Brazil or to Buenos Aires in Argentina (where events are more frequent) and the rest of the way go by land.

Travelling by bus

Petr Liška Wrote 27.01.2013:

From La Paz, bus lines are very common throughout the country and to neighboring countries
