Budget & Money
The official currency of Bolivia is the Peso Boliviano (Bs.). One boliviano is equivalent to 100 cents. Banknotes can be found in denominations of Bs. 200, 100, 50, 20, 10, and 5. Coins of 5, 2, and 1 bolívares, as well as 50, 20 and 10 cents. It’s best to bring cash for transactions since credit cards are only accepted at big shops. You can find ATMs all over the country. One dollar equals approx. 7 bolivianos. It is not customary to tip in restaurants, but if you wish to tip, this is 10% of the total consumption.

Electricity and Power Supplies
Bolivia uses 220-volt currents, alternating at a frequency of 60 cycles per second. Of course, always pay attention to the volts accepted by your electronic devices before plugging them in. If don’t buy a voltage converter, your 110-volt device always will die in a 220-volt electric outlet. Therefore, check your devices to see which voltages they work with. Happily, lots of mobiles, tablets, laptops, and e-readers have a double voltage option, so you won’t need to use a converter in that case.
