One of the MAIN reasons that I left Paraguay 🇵🇾 after 3 years
For Bolivia.
The SHEER variety of affordable weekend trips in Bolivia 🇧🇴
Example:
Bolivia has a wine region. Colonial city. Wild tourist region in La Paz.
And...
A city of eternal spring in Cochabamba
All…
A $100-$140 roundtrip away from Santa Cruz
(Plus many great weekend trips within driving distance from Santa Cruz)
While...
Paraguay still has a special place in my heart.
It couldn't satisfy that need for me
And..
When I weighed the pros & cons
It generally couldn’t compete with the lifestyle in Bolivia
(for my criteria).
Something most people DON’T know about
📍Bolivia 🇧🇴
It is one of the SAFEST countries in Latin America.
And…
Has ranked as the country with the 3-4th LEAST homicides per 100k people
in latam for each of the past 5 years.
Safe. Affordable
Still...
Not for everyone. But:
A place that I’m very happy to call home.
@ikipepper Ja! Net zo leuk als Paraguay. Volg ons voor meer redenen. Je bent altijd welkom hoop Nederlanders hier, patat, kroketten, geen Hollandse nieuwe helaas. Kom een keer langs zou ik zeggen 🤝
The CRAZIEST thing about
📍Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia 🇧🇴
Is the pricing.
Let me give a few examples:
-Steak + sides + bottle of wine at high end resto = $20-25
-Highest End Gym = $36/month
-Weekday round of Golf at Country Club = $25 for 18 holes
-Cocktail at high-end end rooftop bar = $6
Truly…
Nowhere else like it in latam.
@amuyaskthwa@William07378284 About a similar amount of high end restaurants but cost is indeed about 10% more in Santa Cruz as per expatistan. Both are great for dining 🙌🇧🇴
@marceloclaure Starlink answers one of the most common questions we get: can I work from there?
Territorial Tax, USDT adoption and now internet from anywhere in the country.
Bolivia keeps getting easier to say YES to 🇧🇴🚀
Possibly Latin America’s MOST underrated city
📍Sucre, Bolivia 🇧🇴
Insanely beautiful. Phenomenal nature close by
Plus…
Endless vibey bars & restaurants
So good.
