Home to the amazing Incan and pre-Incan empires, the splendid Lake Titicaca as well as the vibrant cities of La Paz and Santa Cruz, Bolivia is indeed an amazing place to visit in South America.

However, there are tourist-targeting scammers and petty crime to be wary of. https://travelscams.org/south-america/common-tourist-scams-bolivia/

Do be wary of the Isla del Sol scams, fake tour guides, the dropped money scam, express kidnappings, fake bus station officials, snatch theft, drug mule, and many more!

My glasses seemed to work pretty well. I didn’t make across into Bolivia, but I did see ! While you are there also definitely go to to see the salt flats nearby in neighboring Chile with flamingos

Stunning Piedras Rojas, High + Deep in the Atacama Desert of Chile just my recommendations! Love you blog Paddy!
