5. The Tight Squeeze
The sidewalks of Bolivia are notoriously busy with foot traffic. With the amount of people milling around, it’s tough to make sure your possessions are safe and secure. The thieves in Bolivia are usually strong men, who surround you so that you’re unable to move, and then go through your pockets and bags. Taking vehicles or bicycles to get where you need to go is a good idea in a place like Bolivia, it helps avoid the danger of walking around amongst the pickpockets. But if you do decide to travel by foot, plan to take routes where they’ll be less people, in less populous areas. The downtown areas are especially bad.
