Also, I am thinking of traveling in Bolivia for about a month or so in July. I was there about 5 years ago on a high school summer program so I didn't get to see much and have always wanted to go back. I know you may be a bit bias because of your stomach problems and the ugly women, but do you think its worth going if what I want to do is check out the huge markets, salt flats, mine tour, biking the death road, etc.? Are activities worth it or underwhelming?
I was in Bolivia a couple months ago. I was only there for several days to take the 4x4 trek from Chile to the salt flats in Uyuni and back. I think as far as natural wonders, Bolivia is incredible and totally worth it. I had a tough time there because of altitude sickness, but if I'd had time to acclimate I'm sure I would've really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind going back to see more of Bolivia, it's a really interesting place and so different from other S. American countries.
