La Paz - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you have any other comments?
Reading some of the reviews here on Talesmag you'd think this place was hellhole - which it definitely is not. So far, this has been one of the better posts in my career. But you have to be adventurous. If you sit on your butt you'll get bored. - Jan 2024
Bolivians are very nice, mellow people. If you show them a smile and proper respect throughout all strata, you will do well here. - Sep 2016
La Paz is overall a very nice post-the difficult bilateral relationship is a downer at work as is the constant negative rhetoric in the news and from government officials. However, regular Bolivians are typically very welcoming and interested in Americans and foreigners in general. It pays to get out and make friends with as many Bolivians as possible-your experience here will be much enriched. - Jan 2014
If you have heart issues do not come; This is a high-altitude post at 12500 feet. - Feb 2012
This is a nice post with good management. It's just the right size of mission – not too small and not too big. You will save money here and 25% differential is worth living in the highest capital city in the world for two years! - May 2011
It can be an adjustment regarding the altitude and missing American products (amazing how you can miss Kraft products!), but that is to be expected since you are visiting another country!The people are friendly and helpful, the scenery is beautiful, and it is an experience worth having! - Mar 2011
The people here are very kind. They deserve better from their government. I will miss the Bolivians when I leave. - Aug 2010
Great place for families with small children. - Jan 2010
