Tips for Digital Nomad
Photos to Local
Always ask permission before photographing people, especially women in skirts.
Cash
Carry enough cash in Bolivianos. Many places do not accept cards and ATMs are scarce.
Altitude Sickness (Soroche)
Uyuni is at 3,670m. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol the first day and drink coca tea.
Sun Protection
The sun's reflection on salt is blinding and burns the skin quickly. Wear category 4 sunglasses and high-grade sunscreen.
