RESOURCE GUIDE
This Resource Guide was compiled from the most current and
up-to-date information at the latest possible moment prior to
handing in the completed manuscript of CultureShock! Bolivia.
Given the fragile nature of contemporary business and the
evolving reality of Bolivian telecommunications, it cannot be
assured that each site or establishment will still be around or
have the same phone number when you get there.
This guide is selective rather than encyclopaedic. In the
realm of tours, restaurants and hotels, we attempt to avoid
what would be easily found or obvious, preferring to explore
for special surprises, unusual bargains or local legends. That
said, we also highlight practical solutions.PRIMARY WEBSITES
