Here’s a guide with everything you need—including LAM’s garments for stylish and comfortable travel!

1. Warm Layers for Variable Climates

Bolivia’s weather can shift dramatically, especially in high-altitude areas like the Altiplano or the Salar de Uyuni.

• Pack thermal clothing and a windproof jacket.
• Bring LAM’s alpaca wool pieces, such as our sweaters or scarves, which provide unmatched warmth, comfort, and artisanal flair. They’ll keep you cozy while adding a touch of elegance to your journey.

2. Essential Documents

Make sure you have:

• Your passport and, if required, a tourist visa.
• A yellow fever vaccination certificate, necessary for some tropical regions.
• Physical and digital copies of key documents, including tickets, reservations, and travel insurance.
• Some cash in Bolivian currency (bolivianos) and your credit/debit cards for emergencies.

3. Staying Connected

Ensure seamless communication during your trip:

• Purchase a local SIM card or confirm your international plan works in Bolivia.
• Download helpful apps, such as offline maps and local guides.
• Carry a portable charger and an adapter if your home country uses different plug types.

4. First Aid Kit

A small emergency kit can be a lifesaver:

• Pain relievers and medication for altitude sickness.
• Sunscreen and lip balm, essential for high-altitude sun exposure.
• Insect repellent if you’re heading to tropical areas.
• Band-aids, antiseptics, and basic bandages.

5. Other Essentials
