I was assigned to work in Santa Cruz, Bolivia in 2012 after a 4 year assignment in Egypt. After a year I returned to the UK and retired early in 2014. A week later I returned to Bolivia and in 2017 became a permanent resident. I bought a 4 bedroomed bungalow with swimming pool, BBQ cabin to seat 20, separate laundry in 2508 sq metres (27,000 ft2) for a price similar to a 2 bedroomed apartment in the UK. The house is only 20 minutes from the centre of Santa Cruz and sits in a secure condominium with a 70,000 sq metre common area with a lake. I have since added a further 1007 sq metres to my land to grow fruit and vegetables giving me a total land area of 3515 sq metes (37,835 sq ft). Food and drink is very inexpensive here and travel between the major cities is by far better by air and relatively cheap to. The comments in the video regarding the standards of driving are very true. Political action is by road block and certainly there are factions that want to return to a dictatorship with a two class society (Them and Us). Overall though I love the climate and the diversity, visiting Sucre Cochabamba, La Paz and Tarija are like going to different countries. I love it!
Thanks for such comprehensive insight ;)
You haven’t been to Oruro yet??
CARNAVAL is a must!!! make sure you visit this year!! now that’s a complete diffemrce from the rest of the places you’ve visited and the culture of the caarnaval is crazy!! so unique and out of this world. please don’t miss it this year
@@Idonttakethisseriously Of course I have been to Oruro, for the Carnival too. It's a bit of a pain to get there (fly to Cochabamba, overnight stay, bus to and from Oruro but miles of walking to and from the bus station. A pretty good carnival though and we had some wonderful seats so I was able to get some excellent photographs. We are off to the La Paz carnival this weekend - rain forecast!
Dictadura? Son muchos que vienen pero no vengan a formar parte del que no quiere la Unión, por algo estas tierras nos costo a los mestizo hacer lo que es y no,al que vino de fácil y a comprar hectáreas de tierra cuando ellos no hacen más de querer ser los superiores al resto vengan a sumar no a restar gente extranjera que compra mucho terreno para limitar al otro y inviertan y deforestan,.
How you see the current govenment?
Lived in Bolivia for 15 years. Just an awesome country to live. I wish to retire in small size cities (Sucre or Tarija) in Bolivia in near future.
Beautiful! I love Bolivia! Greetings from Romania!
I love Romania!!
My birthplace that I love.Bolivia has my corazón ♥️
I want to visit her
We are semi-retired in Bolivia at the moment and we are really happy and highly recommend it

Which part of Bolivia did you choose for retirement?
Ty
Me too.
@@CRVGinc did you find the best city in Bolivia, for people to retire? Thx
Imagine being a Spaniard in the 1500s discovering this place for the very first time - seeing all of the jungle mountains in massive expanse, all the unique wildlife etc.
I'm very surprised you did not even mention Cochabamba. I lived there for almost four years. Very friendly people, almost perfect weather, and great food!
I agreed, perfect weather. I live in Cochabamba for 13 yrs
Cochabamba is where my husband is from, and its by far the most beautiful at least in pictures.. and his family are nice kind people..
I'm going to visit for a long time. Probably not retire, but explore the possibility.
Bolivia is the most inexpensive country to live. It has three major cities in three climates, like La Paz in the Andes, Cochabamba in the Valleys and Santa Cruz in the tropical region of the Country. Rich in culture, music, great tasting food and very cheap. Low crime, cheap rent and internet access. There are other smaller cities filled with beautiful culture and breathtaking landscapes like Potosi and the Uyuni Salt Flats, Sucre beautiful old architecture, Tatija with a flourishing wine industry, Oruro rich in culture with their world famous Carnaval and Beni and Pando which are in the amazon basin great for rain forest adventures.
Todos son hermosos potosi es fin de comenzó la moneda del mundo extrayendo plata y oro sucre ciudad blanca el capital y casas antiguas,tarija ciudad clima templada donde hay vino singani tradicional bebida de Bolivia ,Beni ,pando ciudades con clima similar a santa cruz muy poca población tierra para ganadería y agropecuaria mucha fruta ,todas estas ciudades tiene muy poca población por eso no creció y no hay mucho camino en comunicacion a otros si no van a sumar no vengan ciudades
Cochabamba is one of the best cities to retire
Why is not Cochabamba listed in the cities to consider for retirement? It has the best balance of all cities from the west and east.
Because "Viva Cochabamba SIN SU GENTE" hahaha, joke 🤣
Civil war every 2 seeconds
Cochabamba is lame. 😂
Mabe because you could only use water until 2 pm , that is watch Ii was told last time I stayed there
Let's keep Cochabamba a secret 😁
Awesome video
An intelligent and hear warming rendition of Bolivia 😇
Gracias 🙏🏼
Very informative, but I would mention Cochabamba as the 3rd city for retirement too. It has the best mild weather in the country!
Ty
No water, Cochabamba is doomed to disappear
Good job at researching and presenting the most relevant aspects.
It is a good place to live calmly, even with the CONS, you learn to avoid them or tolerate them.
Beautiful and interesting video yhank you ✅❤
Merci pour cette vidéo fort complète. Ce que j'aurais vu de mieux sur ce pays, en fait. Je devrais partir vivre bientôt à La Paz pour environ 2 ans, et votre vidéo aura aiguisé mon appétit pour La Bolivie, et m'aura grandement rassuré aussi, je dois bien l'avouer.
No Cochabamba ? What kind of list is this without Cochabamba ? That’s the best place to retire in my opinion
No 👎
Good informacion about Bolivia, excelent video!!
Muy buen reportaje. Excelente.
Looking forward to their delicious, affordable cuisine! I'm not even hungry and the pictures are making me crave a Bolivian entree.
Beautiful video, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank u for informations 🤝👏
Very good presentation
I wish i can move to bolivia someday.
Espero que no
Slow bureaucracy is rampant in mexico just like in every other country in latin America . if some one tells you it will be ready Monday it usually mean Friday😅 of the following week 😂😂 but yeah try to learn enough of the language to get by on the other hand the culture and customs are a must learn.
You did a fantastic job with this video! A lot of important information given here! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
we agree!
@@roninblue5885 it was indeed - Wildland gave me first time curiosity for Bolivia, me who has never left my small european country. Now i'd love to come visit, fascinating country
EXCELLENT !
Hay mucho lugares hermosos en bolivia buen video
Perfect details sir good luck i'm india sir
No debate, Sucre is the capital of Bolivia, the constitution is clear, and no even a litle mention about La Paz like capital...
Hi there Robin Blue
Happy New year!
Tell me more about the plumbing in Bolivia and Latin America in general?
You cannot flush toilet paper into the toilet.. it will clog up the pipes
In many places you cannot flush the toilet paper but in some you can. Especially places that are 3rd or 4th story in the building because gravity :) If you have other questions feel free to leave a comment on any of our videos and we will answer asap
@@TheBoliviaShow n
Genial 🎉
it's a good video😊
I only hope that people from other countries will not raise the price of living for the Bolivians living there. It happened in Czechoslovakia in the early 1980's in Prague.
And the CIA that performed the coup d'etat there knew it would
Hopefully not. But won't happen for a very long time if at all. I wouldn't worry about it. It's landlocked, so it will be one of the last aces where that wi happen.
@@m_christine1070 yes in santa cruz yes, more people are comming here and its the fastest growing city in latin america and when you come like to the west parts of the city you see these modern towers but the rest are in construction, so you can literally see how the city is developing his infraestructure and economy so prices are going up and people are migrating
@@pole3224 thank you!
Cochabamba , is the city with the best weather ,the culinary capital of Bolivia and the center of Bolivia, you can travel to any Bolivian city from Cochabamba.
nice visuals but other than that it's just a bunch of second hand information without the real first hand experience
I love that the culture values their relationships above everything else. I was born in the wrong culture and country. How do I relocate with my house full of rescued pets?
Should have thought of that before you took them on.
Given Bolivia is not expensive it would be nice to give it a try and find affordable large places to live with your pets. Here it is possible to find places that suit your needs and relocate with your loving pets.
You forgot to mention the most important information about the Uyuni Salar!! It is full of lithium!!! Had the most lithium of the world under the salt you see and it’s so beautiful!!! It is like walking in heaven and seems you didn’t appreciated or didn’t see it really well...you need to stay there to know Bolivia to give a more accurate description of that beautiful country!
Your lines are quite rude, there is nothing wrong if a foreign person who is providing information about Bolivia makes mistakes, we can correct them in a polite way, be nice!
Friendly Comment, your comments are not so friendly.
Friendly? No at all. Nothing wrong with the video narrative.Impossible to cover " all" in one video.
Friendly? No at all. Nothing wrong with the video narrative.Impossible to cover " all" in one video. BTW Mr. Blue Ronin has already pass away. RIP globetrotter.
Es un país increíble y con naturaleza hermosa
You didn't mention Cochabamba. Bolivia's 3rd city is known as the City of Eternal Spring and has the perfect climate and altitude for all round good weather. It's also known for it's food and is often called Bolivia's culinary capital. Cochabamba Airport also has the most Intercontinental Connections with direct flights to Europe and North America.
I have heard that the urban area is very contaminated. Is that true?
amazing
How did i end up here? Its simple my people are said to of come from here. And originally i thought it sounded like someplace in check republic or something like that, Imagine my surprise when i looked it up and it was in native america. I went from knowing nothing about Bolivia to feeling like i've always known about it, like the other nations. So thanks for that. ;p
Realmente bonito hermoso mi amado bolivia
Excelente lugar
What´s going on right now regarding the covid rules there?
I can tell you one thing in the country where people were better at following rules they did severe lockdowns the people complied and they never had a big problem with covid
and then you have places like the USA where Freedom lovers kill themselves and each other
June 2, 2022, as long as you gave a full vacation certificate u OK, will theh change the policy in the future , maybe,
Bolivia es hermoso en fauna y flora muchas etnias están ubicados a los lados
Hi friend traveling to Bolivia end of April, Do you happen to know if US Citizens need Yellow fever vaccine and can I issue tourist Visa upon arrival thanks in advance. The information online it’s very confusing
You don't need yellow fever shot, all just bunch of bs. I had yellow fever shot ten yrs ago, they don't even looked ag my yellow card. About visa, you need go to bolivia counselor office in u.s. apply f visa ( $165 -$185).
Cuando usted vaya póngase vacunas, no lo piden pero muchos se enferman cuando van a lugares de clima caluroso
Spanish Black Legend in full effect.Anglosaxon point of view.
I live a lot cheaper in Cuenca Ecuador.. my rent is 300 including all utilities and High Pseed Internet.. my electric is 18 a month my cell is 5 bucks a month..Retirement visa easy to obtain.. I am definitely visiting Bolivia.. hope next year
Yes!! Retire in Ecuador. In Bolivia we need young people to work!
Sounds beautifully socialistic there
@@mariaperez3709 it's not nice at all to say that!!... in Bolivia we need educated people of all ages, we need tolerant people if we want to progress and not aggression!
@@mariaperez3709 Are you even Boliviana?
@@mariaperez3709 , you don't know how economics works do you?
I like it
Uhh u forgot about ghost recons 😳
I Was trying to get to la paz last time was in peru, missed the flight ✈️
Nice country to live in
well actually the capital of Bolivia is Sucre and thats not debatable, The beautiful pic of a chyna morena shown (8:00)does not correspond that region but Altiplanic region like LaPaz and Oruro, Pique-Macho or Sopa de Mani are originally from Cochabamba (17:00) that is not metioned here bay the way... the pic shown there (21:00) doesnt correspont to Bolivia but in 22:18 yes that is La Diablada...
From Brazil to boilva u want a Visa
Sucre is the capital. No another city.
❤❤❤❤❤
Only problem for me is I'd need a visa to even go there, even though I'm married to a Bolivian, he's a man and so am I so I'm not welcomed as his husband, and to get a visa its like getting a US visa... I've tried
Que pena suerte con eso
@@Shaun-Vargas lo que se perdió respeto ,la buena educación ,nuevamente suerte
jesus loves you
Wow
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱OHHH MY GOD
As well
I wouldn't change to live in La Paz.!!!!!
Bolivia was: suffering from: exploteded, opresion, humillación, . Now it is time to care for their owns resources.
I value your effort making this video but, I think your knowledge of the country is still limited. From little info as Pique a lo Macho, that is not a typical dish from Santa Cruz but actually from Cochabamba, to prices for 2 bedrooms places you present with the wrong images that generalize the info as background, are missleading. Althought it is true that in Bolivia and especially with cities like Cochabamba (amazing you missed showing the most suitable and walkable city for retirees) you can have a high quality of life even higher than the one you get at least in the US (believe it or not), but maybe not at the level you can live in Europe.
Ah, the queues. Thought that was a historical relic of the Soviet Union. Guess not.
Why do say expats and not immigrants when referring to people that move to Bolivia ?
because that is how the Brits starting to call themselves in America ... so Americans copied ... America was a British colony so we are not immigrants really and most do not immigrate to America.
Agree, the should be immigrants!.
Bolivia is incredibly beautiful. Night time is dangerous though. If one is retired why would they stay up very late
But is it safe if you stay at home? Are there a lot of break-ins and home robberies?
@@m_christine1070 it can be. Usually they have someone home to look over the house. Most have dogs as an alarm to bark at anything
Crime is everywhere in the world. Actually Bolivia is one of the most safe countries in South America.
@@israellopez959 safe mostly in the city, but no one has business later in the night-There’s crime and drunks and more outside. It’s more dangerous in the countryside
@@cooldude2245 depends on what part and what city, in santa cruz if you stay in your private neighborhoods i can say you are 10x safer than in the usa eruope or any country, in the north and west part of the city is very safe but when you go to the south and east where a lot of people live (mostly people that serve as manpower and earn the minimun salary) you can get robbed so just go to the north west and you are going to be fine
Bolivia was, always rich in resources, the expresidents for decades even centures, sales the resources it was like poor country.
Bolivia was,is and will be better than before.
Religious are real Cristian and Catholic and free religions.
Three out of four times I've been in La Paz over the years I've been tear gasted.
In 1970 a man ran for president on the promise to bring Bolivia into the modern world and he showed it by his heroic deed of having 5 mi of road paved. Prior to that there were no paved roads in the entire country. Santa Cruz was a backwater Dusty town until two things happen the discovery of oil and the growth of cocaine.
It seems it was very very far ago, the dusty town of Santa Cruz now is the largest in Bolivia, nicknamed by travelers as "Bolivian Miami ". There are modern highways now and modern infrastructure.
How much per month to retire in El Alto? I plan to teach English there, not really retiring but do some teaching.
Who wants to learn English there?
We don’t want to learn English 🤢 we are focusing on learning our own lenguajes Aymara or Runasimi
I’m from La Paz and I can tell you, living in el alto is brutal, not only for the extreme weather but also for the insecurity of the city itself.
You can teach English and most of the people from the city of La Paz will welcome you, but not so much in El Alto.
@@jaimeterrazas5394 you must be a pitita. I am in El Alto already, and people here are very welcoming.
the thing is, i dont recommend going to el alto, there are better options
I don’t agree with you about Santa Cruz been more Westernized!! La Paz, Cochabamba, Sucre Oruro are as well! You just don’t know well the country and even though you got some things right you still far away from giving a true description of Bolivia and it’s beautiful culture and so nice welcoming people!
You just said people is welcoming, so let's show them that. People can agree and disagree, everybody has different perspectives and it should be respected, if they are wrong, just clarify it IN A NICE WAY!, let's show respect, education, let's be nice!
Muy bien es asi nos costo estar en armonía, pero aveces cuando vienen y vivin años y tienen desendientes los cuales se creen dueños en muchos paices que emigraron gente de otros paices la mayoría viene a restar y no a sumar ,gracias usted se ve que no es asi
No McDonald's...great
Try saying Bo-LEE-var.
Sounds like it's all about eating.
absolutely useless. sounds like all the info was taken from the wiki
kinda but thats what the west thinks about us even im from the west but born here
Bolivia just doesn't have the infrastructure.
Not a developed country infrastructure but a fair decent one that allows people moving, traveling in and out the country.
this didnt age well...
not wrong...
why?

Too.many nice looking women kn bolivia
I lived for 15 years in Bolivia. I married and raised children there. LISTEN. It is a fascinating place, but tough. The Bolivians will welcome you, because as a foreigner you might have some opportunities they can use. Underneath, they dislike you. You shouldn't trust anyone if you want to survive. I could go on but the complexity of the culture and politics needs a book to explain.
Do not retire there. It seems cheap, but in Bolivia life is very cheap, and a foreigners life only has as much value as they can be used for money and opportunities. I also met good simple people, especially campesinos. All my ex-pat friends that retired in Bolivia, even those that had been there for decades, are dead. In their time of need or illness, the Bolivians turned on them.
Visit Bolivia, but don't stay too long. I hope telling the truth saves somebody's life.
Is that true?
A person who lives in Bolivia speaks to you. This country is Very Wonderful if we compare with the US or other countries.
Unfortunately you are misinforming and I think you should learn something about this country, which is the simplicity of its inhabitants, which is the most characteristic.
Most Bolivians love honesty, not betrayal, culturally a foreigner is welcome, but if he misbehaves they do justice with their own hands, logically Bolivians are not stupid to tolerate abuse either. Unfortunately there are bad experiences with foreigners who abused in the past, such as the Chileans who, allied to the gringos, took away the sea because the gringos provided the Chileans with better technology for the invasion. Other bad experiences to mention are that many foreigners entered Bolivia to steal and kill like Peruvians, even in many Peruvian internet places, Bolivian folklore and music is shown as if it were Peruvian.
There are also seasons when Brazilian and lately Colombian mafias enter Bolivia, but Bolivians are not cruel, but they are not stupid to put up with everything.
Lately Bolivians are more flexible, nationalistic and even globalized, there are foreigners who live here, but they love Bolivia and they don't misbehave. On the other hand, in other countries there is abuse and a lot of debauchery at all levels.
Millionaire people in alliance with foreigners exploited resources of this country without leaving much.
It seems that nowadays, Bolivia is a country of many hopes, that needs working people of good faith just like them, lately Argentine workers who live in Bolivia have arrived. Years ago I heard a saying "WE WANT PARTNERS AND NOT PATRONS". Currently and unfortunately as we live in the age of the internet, even bad habits are transmitted.
It is possible to live in Bolivia if you do the right thing and do not intend to take advantage or abuse, but do not be too stupid to believe that the moon is made of cheese.
another experience

@@tohodave in general it’s not true, as there are good guys there are bad guys, this goes for every country, Bolivians are very humble and hardworking people there are very kind especially with foreigners
@@westernsouth5609 I fell in love with Santa Cruz and planning to move there, until now, I better quit the idea. Im from Chile, and I don't think it's fair to be demonize by history. I noticed how Bolivian media brainwash bolivians against USA, and I guess the same with Chile. There's no right to have a human being living in resentment just to take political advantages of them.
It's a pity you had a bad experience, I'm Bolivian and I have loads of foreign friends, not all of us are as you mentioned, as any country there is nice and bad people, you shouldn't generalize. Good luck!
Our government has no idea how people are suffering economically these days in the world and the market has not been friendly in recent months. Thank you Catherine Reece, imagine investing $5000 and receiving $19000 every 7 days. It is important for everyone to prioritize their financial life

I think that some of the information in terms of the cost of living it's way off the actual reality. Bolivia it's probably the cheapest place to live in Latinoamerica. Rent can go from $25.00 - $500.00 depending the size and location. You get more tv channels for free that typically you would have to pay in the USA. Internet is also cheap as low as $18.00 a month. Food is sooo inexpensive, organic and delicious that lunch can cost you from $2.00 - $15.00, depending where you go.
No vengan luego se hacen dueños
Bolivia is the most rich resources like: minerals, petrol, LITIO,, Santa Cruz the most racist in Bolivia were the rich people from the over seas invest. but La Paz, were the best food is, Tarija, Sucre, Bolivia has 9 beautifully cities with different excellent food, and costumes, Bolivia rich in fauna and flora.
pura mentira
I really feel bad that this country was use in Trash Game from Ubishit
nah don't come please, we don't foreigners to exploit us
Bolivia has amazing landscapes, but the country is a shit hole and is a horrible tourist destination.
La Paz is a massive city and I have yet to find any place that would be considered pleasant or nice. Most towns are bombed out as well.
You are so wrong how disrespectful & rude you are
I agreed, it is a big shit hole and trash everywhere, uneven sidewalks, holes and big rocks jn middle of side walks, most of drivers doesn't respect traffic lights and one way st sign. Blockade every single day, excepted Friday and weekend( party day).
And yet, there you are, isn’t it funny? lmao
That is right for Western Bolivia.
U forgot cocaine bruh
ok so i would say santa cruz is the best city to move in, 1 it depends on the zone you live, if you live in the north zone or western zone is safe, modern and there are good prices and private neighborhoods we call condominiums here (of houses) they are like resorts but to live in, 2: the economic growth, santa cruz is one of the fastest growing cities in the world and the first growing city in latin america and one of the bests to invest, thats a lot of people come here for jobs and everything, 3: you can live like in the usa or europe but cheaper, ok yes bolivia is a poor country but if you work and you have a good profetion or simply a good paying job (most likely if you come here to work or invest) you can get anything, here in santa cruz we have anything, enormous mansions in the urubo or in the north, good modern family houses, good american style family houses, good and modern apartments, good restaurants, good education and hospitals (if you work and have a decent or good job) ok but t he reason why many people here are poor is because they are just serving as manpower which gives you the minimun salary and then they go like in the south of the city like far away and live in this zones like plan 3000 which are very poor zones, there many people live and come to the city to work dialy as manpower like builders and more, for example in a good job in the west of the city i get paid about 40k bolivianos which are about 6000 USD, i have a profession and i get good salary, also if you like wanna buy a good computer and modern furniture for your house you can, there are many many options going from chinesee to american and european products which you wont fin in la paz or other cities (or its difficult/harder to find or simply you cant get it)
Bolivia is the most inexpensive country to live. It has three major cities in three climates, like La Paz in the Andes, Cochabamba in the Valleys and Santa Cruz in the tropical region of the Country. Rich in culture, music, great tasting food and very cheap.
