🎯 Best Time to Visit Bolivia
The dry winter season from May to October is the most reliable time to visit. Skies are brilliantly clear and overland travel is safe from floods. However, if your main goal is to see the sky reflecting on the flooded Salar de Uyuni (Salt Flats), you must go during the rainy season in February or March.

⚠️ Wichtige Reisetipps Bolivia
Chew Coca Leaves
It is legal and ubiquitous in Bolivia. Chewing the mild coca leaf or drinking coca tea is the most effective local remedy for combating altitude sickness.
Bring Toilet Paper
Public bathrooms and even many hostels rarely stock toilet paper. Always carry a roll in your daypack, along with small coins to pay the bathroom attendants.
Prepare for Freezing Nights
If doing the 3-day Salt Flat tour in the winter (June/July), your basic salt-block hotel will likely have no heating. Rent a sleeping bag from your tour operator. You will need it.
Ride the Teleférico
La Paz has the most spectacular public transit system in the world—a massive network of aerial cable cars. Ride them at sunset for mind-blowing views of the city sprawling up the canyon walls.
