Security: It is preferable that tourists take precautions with their money and valuables, especially in public places. The rainy season (December to March): The roads between Uyuni and surrounding areas may be in bad shape. The salt flats are flooded so access to Incahuasi Island might be limited or impossible. The program might have to be changed due to these reasons. What to bring for the Uyuni tour: • Comfortable shoes • Warm clothing for the evening. During the daytime weather is pleasant. • Sun bock lotion • Raincoat • Sun cap or hat and wool hat for the nights • Sunglasses • Flashlight

Immigration: The document required to visit Bolivia is the passport valid for at least 6 months. It is important to check if you need a visa to enter the country. The main fact to consider is altitude sickness. It is recommended to always drink bottled water, eating lightly before and upon arrival, and resting also minimize the effects of altitude. Remember to bring some of your own medication, especially for treks or adventure activities e.g. antidiarrheals, Pepto Bismol for stomach pain, antihistamines (both capsules and balm), analgesics, band-aids. Travel insurance is not a requirement, but we recommend you to have insurance to cover you in the event that you are unable to carry out your trip due to illness or unforeseen circumstances. Tips: Tips are entirely at your discretion and it is not a requirement, though always welcomed. Tipping in Restaurants: 10% of the total. Tipping for guided excursions: approximate $20 for guides and $10 for drivers Communication: In Bolivia, internet coverage is highly variable depending on where you are in Bolivia. In and around Uyuni the superior lodges provide free WiFi within their properties, though the connection can sometimes be slow and unstable.
