- Bolivia: Embassy or consulate in advance, 30 days. Applied for online, then collected in person.
Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with each embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.

Chile and Bolivia in 11 days: the Atacama, the lagoon route and Uyuni
Santiago → San Pedro de Atacama → the Eduardo Avaroa lagoons → Uyuni → La Paz
Geysers at 4,300m before dawn, a desert that has gone centuries without rain, and then a three-day crossing over the altiplano through flamingo lagoons to a salt pan the size of a small country — one of the great overland borders.
