GENERAL INFORMATION:
- There is a 1 hour difference in the Bolivian time compared to the Peruvian time (If in Peru it is 02:00 pm in Bolivia it is 03:00 pm).
- We have to make a stop in Kasani (Peruvian – Bolivian border), in order to carry out the immigration process (presentation of passports and/or identity documents).
- We recommend exchanging money in Kasani because the exchange rate is better at the border than in Bolivia, and you will find money exchange offices near the immigration office.
- Once in Copacabana we will arrive at the bus terminal located at Av. 6 Agosto and Av. 16 Julio.
To cross into Bolivia, please keep the following in mind:
- A valid passport with at least 6 months remaining validity. You must present it at the Desaguadero border crossing.
- SIGEMIG Registration: We will assist you with this immigration process before you board the bus. For this process, each traveler must have their own registration, including minors, as required by the SIGEMIG system. Once completed, save the QR code on your cell phone to present it at the Desaguadero border.
- Tourist Visa: Citizens of the United States, Israel, and the European Union no longer require a visa to enter Bolivia for tourism (up to 90 days). However, some nationalities do need one. To confirm whether this applies to you, text us with your nationality at +51 976 800 152, and we’ll be happy to provide personalized advice.
