There are, however, certain things that need to be taken into consideration before heading to Bolivia and they include the best time to fly over, attractions to visit, airline companies that offer flights, and travel requirements. By having them covered, a fun-filled and hassle-free trip is well within reach.
Best time to fly over
While the country of Bolivia is known for its extreme climate, it can be visited relatively all year long. Still, the best time to pay a visit is during the months of April to October because there are plenty of sunshine during these months. Travelers should refrain from visiting the country during the months of November to March because these are rainy months and roads may be disrupted during this period.
Attractions to visit
· Lapaz
La Paz is surrounded by high mountain peaks and just a glimpse of this city will definitely take one’s breath away because of its quirky beauty. Some of the city’s finest architectural wonders can be found at the sides of the canyon and they are amazing sights that tourists shouldn’t miss. On days when the sun is clear, Mt. Illimani, the highest mountain in Western Bolivia can be seen in the background.
· Salar de Uyuni
Located at the center of a desert, Salar de Uyuni is home to internationally-acclaimed salt flats, encompassing 10,582 square kilometers and are the source of up to 70 percent of the world’s lithium reserves. It is a majestic view that other attractions across the globe may fall in comparison.
While there, travelers are advised to visit the old train cemetery, which is located less than two miles from Salar de Uyuni. Built by British engineers during the 19th century, it is one of the top attractions in Bolivia because of its historical value.
· Death Road
Heralded by many as the world’s most dangerous road, North Yungus Road aka the Death Road is a popular destination for adrenaline junkies who are brave enough to ride a bike there. In fact, about 25,000 bike riders visit the mentioned road to experience the stunning views of the Amazon rainforest. The good news is the Bolivia government built a safer road nearby for tourism purposes and bikers don’t need to bike the actual Death Road to experience its unique beauty.
Flights from the Philippines
Flights from the Philippines to Bolivia are numerous and for this reason, going there will not be a problem. Passengers can choose from Philippine Airlines, Delta Airlines, Avianca Airlines, Korean Air, All Nippon Airways, Cathay Pacific, Aeromexico, and other reputable airline companies.
The average travel time from the Philippines to Bolivia is 24 hours and 18 minutes.
Requirements
At a minimum, travellers who are coming from the Philippines need to present a passport that is valid during the duration of their stay, a visa, and round trip tickets. Those who wish to visit Bolivia for education and business purposes are required to get their appropriate visas from the Bolivia Consular Office, which is located at 47 Juan Luna Street, San Lorenzo Village, Makati City.
