FAQs: Splitboarding in Bolivia

What should I know about Splitboarding Bolivia?

Every trip to Bolivia starts with a flight into La Paz. From here you will most likely meet your guide. It is always best to travel in Bolivia using official tours. It can be a bit more difficult, even dangerous, hitchhiking and taking buses around the country.

Bolivia is located at a very high altitude. Be sure to arrive a few days prior to your splitboarding trip in order to properly acclimatize. It is likely that you will feel headaches after physical exertion, keepy hydrated and drink coca mate as well in order to make the most of your trip.

Splitboarding is not a very popular sport in Bolivia still, so as a result you will need to bring your own equipment as rentals may be very difficult to find. There are places to rent skiing equipment, however.  

Why should I choose Bolivia for my Splitboarding adventure?

Stunning scenery

Bolivia is beautiful. Heading out for a splitboarding expedition is a great way to get immersed in the varied scenery of this stunning country. Enjoy amazing views from the top of small peaks in the Cordillera Real and descend into incredibly beautiful mountain valleys as you head from mountain pass to mountain pass.

More than mountains

While you’re in Bolivia, take some time to explore the rest of the country too. From the beautiful Old Cities in Sucre and La Paz to the beach at Copacabana on Lake Titicaca and the breathtakingly beautiful salt flats at Uyuni, there really is plenty to see outside of the mountains. Heading to the northwest of the country means you could visit the Amazon too.

Combine ski touring and snowboarding

Bolivia caters both to excellent ski touring and amazing snowboarding. Using a splitboard allows you to climb in skins up mountain slopes in order to take in the amazing views. Follow that up with a long and fun run back down to the valleys on the combined board and you have what until recently was unattainable, the best of both worlds.

What can I expect from the weather in Bolivia?
