General information

Even there is not any kind of sanity control office, which requires sanity and vaccination certificates, it´s highly recommendable to prevent such few complications that could be avoided without much problems, before getting bolivia and may become a reason to ruin your loved and long planned vacations.
There are no reasons to worry about Yellow fever up on the mountains, thus, there is no reasons to avoid being vaccinated. In case of you plan to visit the Yungas, you will be asked if you have taken the proper immunization, and it´s for your own benefit you absolutely need to be protected. So many climbers plans t visit the Yungas once being in La Paz, to avoid Crows, or even to recover after a long climbing season.

There is also some risk of getting hepatitis, Tetanus, due to lack of hygiene in some of places which are far apart of what we expect in our own countries. And treatments to solve this diseases are not always handy in terms of time or reliability.

Diarrheas are common in most of developing countries.As a matter of fact we can consider we will have it once in a trip, and we need to be prepared for this beforehand.
One of the most important spread ways is the water. DRINK ALLWAYS BOTTLED AND SEALED WATER Or carbonated soft drinks, do not accept open bottles due to often they are refilled and the sanity conditions are not a issue in some places . Soft drinks are almost 100% safer, due to the CO2 which decreases PH and kills germs. Take care about food, specially if street cocked, the only change of habits may be a cause of diarrheas, and the excessive deep fried cocking style might be a cause, that even mild will ruins a part of your trip.
Always pack in your kitbag one or two rehidration salt sachets, such Gastrolite, and check out with your doctor about medication doses and treatment in case of diarrheas. As a manner of information, and without any intentions of replace a professional opinion, Ciplofloxacine( antibiotic) and Loperamide(antidiaroheic) are the two most common drugs used for travelers to remote areas..
Even when Security at Bolivia are not a big Issue, and it´s pretty safe to walk round, we were seeing how everyyear, the criminality are raising and there are more stories about pickpockets and robberies to tourists. Bolivians are great people and honest, but influences are making it change, so take care specially if you are traveling by yourselve with a big luggage.
