I spent a month in Bolivia doing volunteer work in Coroico, and after that, I took some time to explore the country. Visiting the Salar de Uyuni and Sucre, it was definitely a highlight it was absolutely stunning. At first, I was a it nervous, but people turned out to be super kind, and I made some really good friends along the way. The food wasn’t bad at all, and everything was quite affordable. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

I spent one month and a half there and those were one of the best moments of my life. I felt very very safe, the people were so kind and helping, everything was cheap and I saw some of the most beautiful landscapes ever!

I was travelling with my family, I was 11 and it was a country where m'y father grew up, so I was in a pretty safe surrounding. I'll highly recommend to taste salteñas, or at least empañadas. Also, eating granadillas on a market place is essential! If you can, go see the lake Titicaca, it's an amazing view, and the best is to stay a night on one of the lake's islands like la Isla del sol.

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.

The safety of this city depends on where you are, such as the "Ceja" or "Alto" zones, which are highly dangerous. In the "Centro" zone, you should be careful with your cell phone; they'll steal it quickly. The South zone is a little safer; generally, I don't have too many concerns for my safety there. In general, you should be careful on dark or small streets with no people around.
