Great experience, visiting Uyuni Salar was incredible (raining season). Beautiful country, with beautiful landscapes! I'd recommend you to take the time to travel by bus to truly enjoy the variety of the land.

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!

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.

Safety in La Paz is relatively good, but It depends on where are you going, and what time you’re going. You shouldn’t walk alone late at night. The means of transportation I recommend are the cable car, the PumaKatari bus, and apps like Uber, inDrive, or Yango.

It’s safe if you know how to “behave” like not showing that you have that much, not using your cellphone in public and being kind of alert of your surroundings. Also if you are with a local it would be easier cause you would know which streets or regions not to go, or to visit until what time.
