Opinion on Bolivia is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 2 to level 3. Four of the twelve take the stricter view, and the remaining eight see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
These assessments are not equally current. New Zealand's dates from August 2023 — roughly 3.1 years old — so it describes conditions that may have changed several times over since.
The warnings for Bolivia are not uniform across the country. Seven distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Chapare Province and La Paz Department. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
The level 3 rating from four of the twelve governments carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
