How to get to | Bolivia

This is part of a series of blog entries on how to get to countries and places. Here is a link to the index. I plan to eventually cover every country and some other places. If you have a request for a particular country or place please use the email me link at top right, or leave a comment.

Bolivia

Visitors arrive by bus or car (from Peru or Argentina), or by air. Note roads from Brazil, Chile and Paraguay are apparently not very good. Airlines flying to Bolivia (La Paz and Santa Cruz) include:

• Star Alliance - none
• Oneworld - American Airlines (from Miami), LAN (from Lima, Iqique and Santiago)
• Sky Team - none
• Other - Gol, TACA, TAM

TIP Fares are normally higher to/from La Paz than Santa Cruz (due to weight limitations at the high altitude flights are half empty).

TIP With relatively high fares, Bolivia is a good option for including on a Oneworld award, round the world ticket or South America pass.
