When to go to Bolivia?
Located in the southern hemisphere, Bolivia's seasons are the opposite of those in the north. There are two distinct seasons: The winter dry season from April to October and the wet summer season from November to March.
Climate changes according to altitude. The highest region of Bolivia, the l’Altiplano, reaches heights of over 3,000 metres and is mainly dry and cool. The difference between day and night time temperatures can be significant. There can be frosts at night, then days reach 20°C before the temperature drops again as night falls. The intense bright daylight in this area makes the countryside stand out even more.
In the Amazon, to the east of the country, the climate is humid and tropical. In summer, from November to March, rainfall is heavy and the days are hot. Visiting in this period is not recommended as trails become difficult pass.
Between the Altiplano and the Amazon, the climate in the central valleys is pleasant - not too hot, not too cold and fewer differences between day and night time temperatures. Similarly, the rainfall is lower during the summer.
If you are travelling in Brazil, remember to bring light clothes for the day and something warmer for the evening, especially if you are on the Altiplano.
Ideally, visit Bolivia during the dry season, and in particular, between April and May or September and October. Avoid January to March when heavy rain makes sightseeing difficult.
