Bolivia is a safe country, but as cities develop so does the petty thieving. For your security, please follow these suggestions: 

• If you need to be transported from your Hotel to other places, it is advisable to ask your Hotel reception for a "Radio Taxi".
• When walking along the streets, or in public and crowded places, please don´t get distracted and keep an eye on your things.
• Never contract a tour or other tourist service in the streets. Do so via an authorized Travel Agency.
• There are some delinquents trying to make tourists believe that they belong to the Police, Anti-narcotics Forces or Tourist Guides. Please be careful.
• Always carry with you the name, address and telephone number of your Hotel and Travel Agency in Bolivia.
• Leave all important documents at your hotel security box.
• You must not give your credit card PIN (Personal Identification Number) to anybody and at any place. Don´t answer to any strange question referred to your credit card.

If you need help, or wish to state a issue please call the Tourist Police in La Paz. Phone. 2225016.
