Altitude Sickness: In high-altitude areas such as La Paz and the Uyuni Salt Flat, it is advisable to prepare medication for altitude sickness in advance.
Sun Protection Essentials: The ultraviolet radiation in Chile and Bolivia, especially in highland areas, is very strong. Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats.
