How to get to Bolivia?
By Air
In order to enter the country by air, Bolivia has three international airports located in its three most prominent cities: Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and La Paz.
La Paz has the El Alto International Airport for its domestic, international flights and cargo transportation, however, many of the incoming and outgoing international flights use the Viru Viru airport in Santa Cruz, due to the high altitude and relative difficult access through the peaks of the Andes.
The airlines that are used mostly are AEROSUR and Boliviana de Aviação (BoA), as it has flights to national and international destinations.
