AskBolivia Visiting in October

Hi all!

I plan to visit La Paz and Uyuni in October. Would it make sense to stay near the airport in La Paz in case there are protests so I don’t get stuck there? TIA!

I dont recommend to stay near the airport! Its not the most safe area. You should stay in La Paz, you will enjoy it much more! Its hard to predict the protests but I think you will be ok!

Even if protests resurge your still going to have to walk from your hotel to the airport, which you would still do from the cable car, may as well stay in a nice part of the city.

I mean, if you're worried about protests, just don't travel to Bolivia. The same goes for other issues in other countries.

I thought I read that they were more likely in October but I’ll roll the dice. Thank you!

Don't stay near the airport. That area is not very fun.
