Additional Information For Driving in Bhutan:

Quality of roads varies a lot throughout the whole of Bolivia. At first, I was surprised, how good the roads are, and then I found out it’s not a common rule. Roads can be shitty, especially in the more distant and less frequent mountain areas. It can happen very fast, that a nice and new asphalt road turns out of nowhere into a dirt road with huge holes. Many roads are also under reconstruction and you have to take a detour on very dusty and ugly road.

Driving in Bolivia during Winter:

Bolivia is a warm so there is no winter here. However, you need to be extra cautious driving during rainy season. Roads may be flooded and slippery. Do not travel from June to October. Any other time of the year, you are good!

Enjoy your stay and have a safe travel.
