Things don’t always go to plan

At most, the Bolivian attitude toward timeliness may be classified as casual, which is one of the Things About Bolivia You Should Know. It's fairly common for things to be late, whether it's buses, excursions, meetings, or social gatherings (especially social occasions). There are also things to contend with, such as poor road conditions, strikes, and blockades. Take it all in stride and remember that in Bolivia, patience is a virtue. Strikes and demonstrations are regular, and bad weather can cause bus traffic to come to a halt. Allow for a couple of days of flexibility in your trip arrangements in case things don't go as planned.

Bolivia is a relatively safe place to visit, despite its numerous perils. You should be informed that the majority of thefts and pickpocketing occur in tourist destinations, restaurants, stores, and public transit, and that violent crime occurs on the streets as well.
