Getting around

By bicycle

    Outside La Paz, bicycles are rarely available to rent, and those that are aren't usually suitable for extended riding. For proper touring, you'll need to bring your own bike from home; airlines are usually happy to carry them if they're packed in bike boxes with the pedals removed. Given the state of the roads, a mountain bike is better than a conventional touring bike. Bring a comprehensive tool kit and a selection of essential spare parts.
