Planning your Bolivia trip
Best time to go: April to October is generally colder and drier. November to March is generally warmer and wetter; high cities such as La Paz can still be cool.

Scams to watch for in Bolivia
- Taxi fare overchargingSome drivers ask tourists for more than the usual fare. This is especially noted in Cochabamba. La Paz taxis have no meters, so an unclear agreement can lead to a higher bill. In Potosí, some drivers charge per person, which can cause a dispute if you expected one price for the car.
- Pickpocketing in crowdsThieves take wallets, phones or other belongings while people are distracted or pressed together. Pickpockets are fairly common at La Cancha. Carrying several bags near Cochabamba's bus terminal makes it harder to watch your belongings.
- Fake taxis and taxi robberyFake cabs are common. Some drivers take tourists to places where accomplices rob them. Violent taxi muggings are reported in La Paz, especially after leaving Fin Del Mundo or Route 36.
