difficult thing about traveling in Bolivia is refueling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I stopped at three gas stations on the way, but I was only able to refuel at one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other two stations said they had no gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YPFB stores often have gas, but other gas stations sometimes don&#8217;t have gas, or I need a copy of my passport to refuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there are two types of gas prices in Bolivia: domestic and international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is determined by whether the vehicle&#8217;s license plate is Bolivian or foreign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are limited in the amount of gas they can refuel each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The international price is Bs.8,7\/L, about 1.2 USD, in October 2024.<br>The domestic price is about 1\/3 of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a foreigner&#8217;s perspective, the international price of gasoline is about the same as in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems that many travelers think that the domestic price should be reduced, but in Bolivia, the international price is not set high, but the domestic price is lowered by investing national taxes, so I think that &#8220;travelers should just pay the international price.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Date of travel: September 10, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Harvest this time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I
