From La Paz Bolivia
How to get from La Paz - Bolivia Montanita - Ecuador.
The terminal of La Paz is great and safe. There are small stalls to leave bags in the same terminal and an exchange house where they change at a fair price. To continue trip to Montañita we have different possibilities:
- Take a direct bus to Lima.
- Take a bus to cross the Peruvian border and stop in Puno.
- Go by bus to cross the border on their own.
- Go by bus to Copacabana. Whenever the bus crosses the border, whatever the final destination, the price is more expensive. The trip to Lima from La Paz is long but can be done in comfortable buses and offer some breakfast and lunch.
The second possibility is to go to Puno, a beautiful Peruvian city on the shores of Lake Titicaca. There's a fairly large terminal where you can take a bus ticket to go to Lima. The route from Puno to Lima offers truly incredible scenery, it is very recommended. (30-40 dollars / 22hs drive approx).
The cheapest option is the third, ie, go from La Paz to the border with Peru and there make the crossing on their own. From there you can go to Puno, before leaving for Lima.
Another possibility is to go by bus to Copacabana, which is an attractive town located on Lake Titicaca with lots of tourist activity and near the border with Peru.
