Rules in force · 10Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the fir…Rest on arrival and keep the first day light
  • South America ↗Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the first day light; sleep lower where you can (Sacred Valley before Cusco) and descend if headache comes with vomiting or confusion.
  • South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
  • South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
  • Bolivia ↗Visa rules depend on your passport (some nationalities need a visa in advance): check with Bolivia's migration authority or a Bolivian consulate.
  • Bolivia ↗Most of the tourist route is above 3,500 m: ascend gradually, rest on arrival, and see a doctor before travel if you have heart or lung conditions.
  • Bolivia ↗Protests and road blockades (bloqueos) are frequent and can close routes and cities for days; watch local news and keep plans flexible.
  • La Paz and Lake Titicaca ↗Protests and road blockades can close routes for days: keep a spare day before any international flight and watch local news.
  • La Paz ↗Rest on arrival and keep the first day light: no long climbs, no alcohol, water and small meals. See a doctor before travel if you have heart or lung conditions.
  • La Paz ↗Use radio taxis or ride-hailing from the airport and at night; do not share a cab with strangers, and note reports of fake police and express kidnapping in unofficial taxis.
  • La Paz ↗Protests and road blockades (bloqueos) can close routes and the airport road for hours or days: keep a spare day before any international flight.
