For those of you who have interest or plan on visiting Bolivia, here are some things you need to know and tips. 1. Fly! The country isn't the size of Brazil but it's still large and bus transportation is awful. Buses are cheaper but flights are really not that expensive. A nine hour bus ride can be a 30 minute flight and flying is just so easy. The roads, buses and drivers are all nerve racking. Buses break down or crash pretty frequently throughout the country....

La Paz is an insane city! And for every pigeon there is a shoeshiner, so basically lots of both haha. We arrived and immediately were in search of a hostel. We found one for cheap but it was a crap hostel with really loud rude tourists so the next day we left in search of a different hostel. We were in La Paz for 9 days total and we stayed in 3 different hostels, our second one was the best though. We spent most of our time in La Paz wandering around and avoiding...
