Answer 4

Why go there at all if you are just staying indoors and not see what is there to see in that country?

Answer 5

It's not as safe as going to New Jersey!  Play it safe, stay in the States.

Answer 6

Oh I suppose rebels who may kidnap a naive American and who keep you as a slave locked hopelessly away from any possible escape. And when you are done they set you on fire. Well, you DID ask. I mean Bolivia? Why?

Answer 7

Bolivia is a beautiful country with an incredibly rich culture and people.  I had the opportunity to travel through there but didn´t see nearly as much as I wanted to.  And I don´t think you should stay indoors or eat your own food all the time!!  That will totally waste your experience.  Just don´t drink the water from the tap, boil it first or buy bottled water, and stay away from questionable street food.  Food is Bolivia is unbelievably cheap - you can get an entire meal (entree, main course, drink and dessert) for a total of US equivalent $2 and it is REALLY good.  Make sure to visit the cathedrals and theaters of La Paz, the salt mines, the jungle, and if you are daring enough - take a bike ride down the World´s Most Dangerous Road.  The only caution I would say is stay away from protests and bring extra food and water on bus trips in case you run into delays.  Have fun!!
