Recommendations:
- Bring your valid passport and/or identity card, essential for the trip.
- Wear appropriate clothing for weather changes: light coat for cold mornings,
- cool clothing for midday and a little windbreaker for the afternoon.
- Don’t forget a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen for better protection.
- Comfortable shoes, ideal for walking during visits.
- Bring drinks and/or snacks to keep you hydrated and energized.
- Consider carrying cash for souvenirs or personal expenses.
Following these recommendations will allow you to enjoy the tour with greater comfort and peace of mind.
To cross into Bolivia, keep the following in mind:
- Valid passport: Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months. You must present it at the Desaguadero border.
- SIGEMIG registration: Don’t worry! We’ll help you with this immigration process before you board the bus. Each traveler needs their own registration—yes, even the little ones! This is required by the SIGEMIG system. Once it’s ready, save the QR code on your phone to show it at the Desaguadero border.
- Tourist visa: If you’re from the United States, Israel, or the European Union, good news! You no longer need a visa to enter Bolivia as a tourist (for up to 90 days). But be aware: some nationalities do require one. To confirm whether this applies to you, text us your nationality at +51 966 364 437, and we’ll be happy to provide personalized advice.

Una experiencia peruana única
Reservé este tour a última hora en el sitio de Viator. Pensamos que el tour era excelente relación calidad-precio. Nos recogieron en nuestro hotel. Estuve en contacto con Ronald a través de whatsup, él es muy organizado y contestado rápidamente. Nuestro guía era Yeferson. Él es conocedor, habla muy buen inglés y entregó la historia con un buen sentido del humor. Yeferson es una delicia absoluta y no podríamos haber deseado una mejor guía. Disfrutamos del viaje en barco a las islas y recomendamos este tour encarecidamente.
