En Bolivie on parle d’ethno eco tourisme. 49% de la population est d’origine autochtone. Les initiatives soient bien moins nombreuses qu’en Equateur et plus récentes, mais elles se structurent à l’échelle du pays. Le réseau de tourisme solidaire (red de turismo solidario), redturismosolidario@yahoo.es is a network of the different communities,who want to organize themselves to promote community tourism and to help their members in capacitybuilding and productdevelopment. In the future they might become the contact to book all community tourism programmes in Bolivia, but they are not yet that far.
En dehors de Tomarapi and Chalalan il existe d’autres initiatives qui valent la peine d’être signalées.
