Weather in Bolivia
Bolivia's climate varies throughout the country depending on altitude, and ranges from semiarid and cold to tropical and humid. Winters tend to be dry and summers quite wet in most parts of the country. November to March is generally the wettest period when landslides and road blocks can occur. The mountainous areas in Bolivia can be extremely cold at night.
Winter is the most popular time for tourists, especially August, as the days are usually clear and dry. Puerto Suarez generally experiences extreme heat and Uyuni is generally extremely cold and windy. The lowlands in summer are muddy with high humidity, and the highland valleys usually have a fairly comfortable climate throughout the year. The Altiplano in winter has extremely hot days and freezing cold nights with temperatures below zero.
