How to get a Bolivia visa from Burkina Faso

Bolivia is safe for travellers to visit -- the country has low reports of violent crimes done against tourists. But like many countries you visit as a tourist, there are risks, particularly if you don't speak the main language (Spanish). Tourists are advised to take necessary precautions while in the country.

The treatment of the water in Bolivia is not enough to ensure the water is clean enough to imbibe. Many smaller, Bolivian communities suffer gastrointestinal illnesses as a result of a lack of clean water.

May to October is the best time to visit Bolivia, as the dry weather brings sapphire skies and tourists can explore the country better. This is the winter season, though, so the highlands will be cold and well below freezing point at night.

One of the most famous tourist attractions in Bolivia is the Salar de Uyuni, a 4,000-square mile salt flat. The Salar de Uyuni, which is covered in a thin layer of salt, stretches out over an extremely flat surface. Its surface is often covered in a shallow pool of water and is famous for its reflective abilities.
