''After a tough few days hitchhiking around Cusco and Puno I got robbed by the border police on the Bolivian side of the border. They took my bag for a quick search found 20 dollars among the dirty clothes and tarp (pretty much all I had valuable was the 20 dollars) and pocketed it. Unimpressed I walked on along the dirt road and caught a lift soon enough with a local guy to La Paz. Be careful with the food and water in Bolivia, I spent a day or two sick on the toilet after taking some tap water (unintentionally, I think it was the lemonade at a restaurant), I opted to get a bus for very cheap to Tarija then since I was a bit weak for hitchhiking. After the day on the bus though I felt better and hit the road for a bit around Tarija and found it doable to get lifts, truck drivers being the best as there is little traffic and many unmarked taxi cars, and then hitchhiked on to Argentina. I would consider my attempt to hitchhike across Bolivia failed if I'm honest mainly because I wasn't careful enough with the police and the food, people are nice there though.'' -

“I traveled Bolivia from July to August 2022.

In general it was a good experience but also kind of weird.

I actually didn’t officially hitchhike for the whole route I’ve done from Guayamerin to Desaguadero Peru. But I also didn’t pay anything.

While I was in the north of the country I started walking towards my destination.

Many locals were really kind to me, but on the same time there was also a bit of a weird energy.

For example I got many requests to stay and spend more time with people I met.

I also got a lot of guys asking me for sex. (I’m a guy).

People shouting at me hippie and asking if I’m selling bracelets.

I don’t know if it was just my luck, or was it Bolivia.

Anyway I recommend you to try for yourself”
