If you're coming from La Paz, prepare for a thrilling and rugged expedition. The road trip, mostly on dirt roads, may be slow and challenging, but the anticipation of what lies ahead makes it worthwhile.

However, at approximately 20 euros (as of February 2015), every twist and turn of the journey becomes part of the unforgettable experience. Once you've arrived, the adventure continues as you cross the river on small boats, taking you on a five-minute excursion into the enchanting Brazilian border town of Guajar-Mirim. Prepare to be captivated by the vibrant culture and natural beauty that awaits you here.

Salteña - Salteñas are Bolivia's most famous sandwich. They consist of a crusty roll filled with a mixture of beef, chicken, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and hot peppers, all drenched in a tangy, spicy sauce made from vinegar, chili peppers, garlic and cumin. The dish originates from the Yungas region but can be found throughout the country.

Ají de Gallina - Aji de gallina is a traditional Bolivian stew made with hen or rooster cooked in a spicy aji pepper sauce, which is a mix of yellow chilies and ají amarillo, both native to South America. The bird is marinated in the sauce before cooking and then served with rice, often accompanied by a side dish of potatoes.

Chuño – Chuño is dried white potato, a staple food in Bolivia. These potatoes are peeled, sliced, and placed in the sun to dry until they become hard and wrinkled. They can be eaten raw or toasted, often as an accompaniment to soups, stews, or other dishes. Chuño is high in carbohydrates and can be stored for long periods, making it an important food source in the Andean regions.
