FOREIGNERS ROBBED IN BOLIVIA..!! | La Paz | SERIES 1 Ep 18 | TRAVEL VLOG
Someone stole my whole camera bag in a bus station in La Paz, Bolivia. I'm absolutely devastated.
This video is an unedited explanation of the situation. This serves as a sort of therapy for me. The thief took my Canon 80D, DJI Mavic Air, all my lenses and all my hard drives full of footage and content we filmed in New Zealand. Vlogs I never edited or uploaded.
Please take care when you visit La Paz. Don't take your eyes off of your belongings. We are so devastated.

Bolivian Highway
It is one of the few routes that connects the Amazon rainforest region of northern Bolivia, or Yungas, to its capital city. Upon leaving La Paz, the road first ascends to around 4,650 metres (15,260 ft) at La Cumbre Pass, before descending to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) at the town of Coroico, transiting quickly from cool Altiplano terrain to rainforest as it winds through very steep hillsides and atop cliffs.
Because of the extreme dropoffs of at least 600 meters (1,830 feet), single-lane width -- most of the road no wider than 3.2 metres (10 ft) and lack of guard rails, the road is extremely dangerous. Further still, rain, fog and dust can reduce visibility. In many places the road surface is muddy, and can loosen rocks from the road.[6]
One of the local road rules specifies that the downhill driver never has the right of way and must move to the outer edge of the road. This forces fast vehicles to stop so that passing can be negotiated safely. Also, vehicles drive on the left, as opposed to the right like the rest of Bolivia. This gives a left hand drive vehicle's driver a better view over his outside wheel, making passing safer.

10 Things NOT To Do in Bolivia - Part 1
Get more Tips here!
As the most elevated country in the continent, Bolivia offers travelers the most amazing panoramic views from its highest peaks. Definitely DO that. But right now we'll be taking a look at 10 things you should NOT do in Bolivia.
1. Don't Travel Without Toilet Paper
It doesn't matter if you're in a decent hotel, or a fine restaurant. You'll soon realize that toilet paper is a hot commodity in most cities. Also make sure you don't flush the paper, it should always be tossed in the trashcan instead.
2. Don't Enter a Bus Without Saying Hello
The locals will always enter by greeting the rest of the passengers buenos dias” (good day) or “buenas tardes” (good afternoon). Brush up on your Spanish so you can recite the greetings, as well!
3. Don't Explore Without a Four-Wheel Drive Vehicle
When you head outside of the major cities, it's best to travel in a four-wheel drive vehicle. You'll be faced with many sub-par roads, including hazardous highways without shoulders, lack of fencing and barriers.
4. Don't Carry Large Notes
We usually say this so that you don't become the target of a crime. However, in Bolivia, the reason is that a lot of the vendors don't carry change. So if a taxi ride costs you 10 Bs and you hand the driver a 20, good luck getting any change back.
5. Don't Get in a Taxi With No Signage
According to travel advisories, (DOS) crimes that take place in taxi cabs are a huge problem in Bolivia. Many criminals drive around in cars that look like taxis, and once a tourist enters the vehicle, they're mugged of their money and belongings. Take a radio taxi and make sure the vehicle has clear signage with the business name, address, and telephone number on the roof.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of Things NOT To Do in Bolivia!

13. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Fermin Guzman, Transportation Union Leader, Sindicato San Cristobal We are totally in disagreement with the national transportation law. This law pretends at the urban level to legalize the urban transportation. The superintendecia wants to be in charge so that the transportation lines could be legalized.
14. Wide shot protestors marching
STORYLINE:
Bolivia was paralyzed as thousands of taxi and bus drivers turned off their engines and marched in several cities on Tuesday to protest the condition of the country's roads and rising tolls.
One demonstrator died in clashes with police.
Police in El Alto, a city of about 600,000 perched above La Paz, used tear gas against the protesters, shooting off one tear gas canister that allegedly hit and killed one of the drivers.
Elsewhere, the day long protests were largely peaceful, though businesses and schools were forced to close in many cities.
Officials estimated Tuesday's strike would cost Bolivia at least dlrs 8 millions.
In La Paz, the administrative capital, police set up road blocks at major intersections.
The drivers were also protesting growing threats of privatization of toll roads and weigh-in stations for commercial trucks.
As part of its economic recovery program, the government has privatized many state-owned companies, including the national airline and oil
company, which has brought massive layoffs.
The drivers were the latest to voice their discontent in President Hugo Banzer's government, which has been struggling to lift the country's economy.

A #vacation to #Bolivia, a landlocked South American country, holds the promise of discovery for adventurous souls. While pretty Sucre is Bolivia’s judicial capital, La Paz is its political capital and also its main tourist hub.
Journey high to the Mirador Laikacota for city views. Deep in the valley below #visit the central Plaza Murillo, home to the most precious buildings: the Presidential Palace, National Congress and Metropolitan Cathedral. Stay near the Plaza San Francisco for its proximity to hidden gems, such as the curious Witches’ Market, the Musical Instrument Museum and the Coca Museum.
Bolivia is a diamond in the rough; relatively undeveloped, but extremely authentic, colorful and cultural. Bolivia’s riches shine through in the country’s high altiplanos, its floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca, the silver mines of Potosi, the infinite salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni and the untamed tropical lowlands in the vast Amazon basin.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Warning for Americans Traveling To Bolivia
I traveled to Bolivia a few months ago. As an American, every situation where I interacted with the police was a nightmare.
Crossing the border into the country leads to a $160 fee.
When I was trying to leave the country, I was bribed and had a fine demanded by corrupt police AFTER they had counted the money in my wallet. (Fair and Just, right?)
The city I was staying in literally SHUT DOWN and I got out on the last bus. What is happening down there in that country?
As an American, you’re a target for unexplained fees and bribes, and completely ‘justified’ fees like the $160 to enter the country.
Be careful.
