Bolivia

Under Bolivian law carrying any amount of an illegal drug is considered drug trafficking, the minimum sentence is 8 years, and every passenger on a departing international flight has their hold and hand baggage — and their person — searched.

Minimum sentence 8 years; carrying any quantity is treated as trafficking.

The US State Department lists Bolivia's currency restrictions as USD 50,000 entering and USD 20,000 leaving; confirm current declaration requirements with Bolivian customs before you travel.

Exporting protected species/products without a permit violates Bolivian and US law.

Many Bolivian souvenirs made from wild plants or animals - leather, crafts, even live animals - come from protected species whose export is illegal and can be seized, and bringing them into the U.S. also breaks U.S. law.

Goods seized; possible U.S. prosecution.

To drive in Bolivia you must have both a 1949-version International Driving Permit and your home licence with you in the car, and recurring fuel shortages plus protest roadblocks can strand drivers for days.

Leaving the scene of an accident is illegal. Note that police cannot stop or search you on the street without a written order from a state prosecutor — criminals impersonate officers.

Same-sex sexual activity is not illegal in Bolivia, though same-sex relationships are frowned on by many Bolivians — more so in the Altiplano than in Santa Cruz, where attitudes tend to be more liberal.
