Hi,

I'm planning to travel (partly by overland tour) to Equador, Peru, and into La Paz. The tour ends in La Paz and I am considering to travel in Bolivia by myself.

I am looking for any advice on where to go or concerns about a single woman travelling alone. Thanks.

Hi Carmen,
Go on a trip with casiopiatravel.com
You get to go with other women and have a great time. Don't know if they go to South America.

Hi Carmen,
I've just returned from Bolivia where I spent just over three months. I was teaching and lived with a group of teachers so didn't travel alone. Theft is big in Bolivia so be really careful with your bags etc but there are some great things to see. I lived in Cochabamba and as a tourist wouldn't say theres a heap to see but a nice city with a temporate climate. I would recommend a trip to Sucre and Potosi. Sucre has some great museums etc but a highlight for me was taking a trip into the silver mines in Potosi - they're very authentic, and a little dangerous but wow what an experience. I went with Koala tours who have an office in Potosi. Happy travelling...hold tight to those bags and remember that traditional Bolivian people are often offended if you take their photo.

I would first learn to spell "Ecuador"...

Elise-Equador is how it's often spelled in Spanish and always in Italian. FYI-Equador is s Spanish speaking country in South America.
Travelled much have you???
