Bolivia offers a unique blend of cultural richness and stunning landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Paraguayan travelers. While international tourism numbers are relatively low, the country's natural wonders and attractions could attract a portion of the approximately 200,000 Paraguayans who travel abroad annually.
Bolivia is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Paraguay. According to the Global Peace Index, Bolivia ranks 66th out of 160 countries, while Paraguay is slightly lower at 71st. In terms of crime statistics, Bolivia has a lower murder rate of 3.5 per 100,000 people compared to Paraguay's 7.8. However, it's important to note that female murder rates are higher in Bolivia at 2.9 compared to Paraguay's 1.9. When examining organized crime, Bolivia scores better in several categories: it has lower indices for mafia groups (3.5 vs. 6.0), crime networks (2.0 vs. 7.5), and human smuggling (2.0 vs. 6.0). However, Paraguay has lower scores in state crime and foreign crime. Overall, while both countries have their challenges, Bolivia is statistically safer than Paraguay in several key areas, making it a viable option for tourists.
