Hotel reservation for Bolivian visa
I read on another thread that you needed a hotel reservation when you get a Bolivian visa at the border on the Puno-Copa route. Is this really enforced? Surely many travelers show up without a hotel reservation! I haven't been able to find contact info for the hotel I want to stay at and don't really want to make a reservation somewhere that I have no intention of staying.Thanks for your replies!

When I crossed with a South African passport in 2010 they didn't ask a single question or want to know anything. We paid, they stamped the visa in our passports, we walked out (see my South America 2010 travelogue).On the other hand I know of an Indonesian girl who wasn't allowed in at all - they put her on the bus back to Puno. Seems like certain nationalities have to obtain a visa before-hand. And there are special rules for US citizens, part of which is a hefty visa fee ($135).
