From taking a bath in thermal rivers to a fascinating ride on a cable car, Bolivia has plenty of safe and fun attractions for all ages.
Discover breathtaking sceneries and enjoy natural experiences on a family trip where no one is going to get bored. Here's everything you need to know about traveling in Bolivia with kids.
Bolivia is an off-the-beaten-track country, which means tourist attractions are uncrowded making them ideal for moving around with a larger group.
Formula, baby food and nappies are easy to find in the cities, and most of the hotels have family rooms or can add beds/cradles to the room.
Public facilities are generally limited, but you should find diaper changing stations in airports, some bus stations, and mid- to high-end restaurants.
Squares and public parks are generally accessible in all cities, but most of the streets are not walkable with a stroller. Bring one resistant enough to go cope with potholes and uneven paving, or consider using a baby carrier instead.
Public buses are uncomfortable and usually full, airports and bus stations don’t have a play area, and in small towns, formula and baby food are hard to find. Wherever you go, though, people are kid-friendly and will be willing to help if needed.

Bolivia is full of wonderful natural sites that kids will enjoy. For all ages, Aguas Calientes hot springs in the east of Santa Cruz are a top attraction, and Uyuni Salt Flats can be an incredible and memorable experience for kids, especially in the rainy season, when the sky is reflected in the water.
Aguas Calientes is a small town located 436km (270 miles) east of Santa Cruz. This wonderful spot has a thermal water river that is less than 75cm (2.5ft) deep with a temperature around 38ºC (100ºF).
Toddlers can safely explore tropical nature here while keeping an eye out for little fish. There are hotels with family facilities, such as high chairs, large rooms, and a small play area, and it's best to visit on weekdays when it's less crowded.
Bolivia has several large parks that will keep the kids busy. Spend the day at the playground, take a nap under the shade of a tree or enjoy a family picnic.
Parque Los Mangales in Santa Cruz is one of the most-visited by families and Parque de la Familia in Cochabamba is popular at night with its light shows and dancing waters.
There are few things that little children love more than animals and Bolivia has a couple of farms that welcome families. Ranchito Feliz, a 15-minute drive away from the main plaza in Tarija, will give your kids a marvelous hands-on experience feeding chickens, sheep, rabbits and horses.
