I'm so glad I discovered your videos! I'm planning a solo trip to Cochabamba, and your in-depth analysis is giving me a great sense of what to expect. Thank you!
Thanks so much for doing this video and talking about Cochabamba which is usually a city skipped by many tourists. It's also very different from their bigger counterparts La Paz and Santa Cruz and yet so livable as you say. I'm from Cochabamba and I've traveled all around the world, and whenever I come back home from a trip, I feel very lucky to live here. Living quality is quite good and not many people realize that. The northern area of the city has grown and developed a lot in the last decades and I wouldn't change my place of living for anywhere in the world.
Thanks for popping in! Yes, Cochabamba seems like an amazing city. My company has offices there so it's an important location for us. We work in all three... including La Paz and Santa Cruz. So it was great to get to visit them all. Bit Cochabamba was definitely my favourite.
Bolivia do experience seasons, but in certain more southern areas, as an example in Santa Cruz in the middle of winter the temperature can reach 0°C thermal sensation and do ocasionally snows in the southern central valleys (Vallegrande, Chuquisaca and Tarija). That is due to the influence of strong southerly cold winds that reach the country especially in winter time.
For sure. I used to live in Panama and PTY is amazing. I love it. I'd say that Guate is more advanced and modern (and big), though. If you want big city feel, nothing else in Central America will come close. It's twice the size of Panama (the country), let alone PTY proper. PTY is amazing, but small. Guate is huge.
I've never done it from there. I'm going to guess American. Most likely you will take multiple hops. If it were me, but I have different needs, I would use Spirit to get to South America's northern airports (that's Bogota or Lima) and then use LATAM to get around South America. Those are my two preferred airlines for North and South America. I do points with both, have the apps from both, have a Spirit CC for extra points and features, etc.
BOA (Bolivian Airlines) flights daily from Miami to Santa Cruz. You can also take Copa Airlines which makes a layover in Panama but Copa flies to Houston, Washington, New York, and many other main hubs. Copa also has a partnership with United, so usually, itineraries are a mix from United/Copa legs. From Canada, You can also do a combination of Copa - Aero Mexico (which I used to fly from Bolivia to Vancouver) or a combination of Air Canada /LATAM to fly via Lima Peru. There's also Avianca with a layover in Bogotá to fly to some US destinations. Unfortunately, American Airlines no longer operates in Bolivia. And yes, itineraries imply many layovers. For example, I'm flying to Portland, Oregon in September, and from Cochabamba, I have a layover in Santa Cruz, then Panama, then Houston, and finally Portland (mix of United/Copa airlines, I bought the ticket from the United airlines website, with the leg from Cochabamba-Santa Cruz bought with BOA).
Cochabamba city is quite small inside its Metropolitan area called KANATA -middle sized(around 300km2 "urban"), suburbans outside city are very undeveloped in general pretty much housing with low quality schools, universities then almost ZERO malls and variety stores, parks.....The only thing that has some quality outside city is the food like u find these places were u get a bunch with decent prices that all but they too far from international restaurants level.
That's true basically anywhere in the world. Once in a while in the US you get outlying cities that are more developed than the famous core cities (Dallas TX or Rochester NY, for example), but this is definitely the exception, not the rule. Almost always there is a city center or primary city with all the good resources and outlying communities that have little and either do without or travel to the core for the good resources.

That big city ¨feeling¨ you can find in Panama City, probably the most advanced city in all of LA.

What airline takes you to Bolivia 🇧🇴 from the USA or Canada 🍁

Avianca is an option, too.

70 % of bolivia is part of the Amazon and valleys just 30 % Andes mountains but it’s true half of the population lives on the Andes or valleys 😂😂
