It depends on the zone. For example El Alto it is definitely not a safe place, I wouldn't be walking alone nor at noon nor at night. Sopocachi is the central part and it's pretty safe. I live in the south zone, the safest of all zones.

Santa Cruz, Solo travel
I stayed in a backpacker, airbnb near downtown, city it has not much attractions. The botanic garden was quite good and the main attraction is without doubt EL FUERTE pre Inca construction related to Tiahuanaco. Santa Cruz is completely different from the rest of Bolivia, it is a coast style city in the mountain.

Definitely visit salar de uyuni the salt flats. It looks like you are in Mars. I stayed there 3 and half months and also worked to there. It's easy place to live low cost cos you cand work and get free accommodation or even some food.
